Get a quoteBattery 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:
Microgrids reduce diesel fuel dependency, extend energy access, and promote community-level energy independence. These modular systems can scale with demand and offer a sustainable alternative to costly grid expansion. Battery energy storage systems are no longer optional—they are essential to Jamaica’s clean energy future.
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.
The Jamaican Government has been actively pursuing strategies to reduce the country’s dependence on imported fuel and to enhance energy security, by diversifying its energy sources and investing in renewable energy. The National Energy Policy
The global industrial and commercial energy storage market is experiencing unprecedented growth, with demand increasing by over 350% in the past three years. Energy storage cabinets and lithium battery solutions now account for approximately 40% of all new commercial energy installations worldwide. North America leads with a 38% market share, driven by corporate sustainability goals and federal investment tax credits that reduce total system costs by 25-30%.
