Battery energy storage systems (BESS) are now emerging as a cornerstone technology to address these challenges—helping Jamaica stabilize its grid, unlock more renewable energy, and reduce electricity costs for both consumers and businesses. The country’s electricity cost can reach as high as $0.32 per kilowatt-hour, far above global averages.
Jamaica is committed to reducing its dependence on imported fossil fuels. The country’s National Energy Policy sets an ambitious target: 50% of electricity from renewable sources by 2037. Energy storage plays a critical role in achieving this target. Key policy support includes:
By integrating battery storage with rooftop solar systems or hybrid microgrids, Jamaican companies can maximize renewable use while gaining financial savings and branding advantages. Beyond the city centers, many Jamaican communities live in remote or coastal areas with limited access to stable electricity.
For sectors such as hospitality, tourism, and logistics—which are vital to Jamaica’s economy—battery storage ensures smoother operations, lower electricity bills, and protection against blackouts. One recommended option for Jamaican enterprises is the 215kWh Commercial Solar Battery.
