The GPE now invites all Interested Parties to participate in the Call for the Expression of Interest (EoI) for new renewable energy generation capacity in Jamaica. The Call for EoI is developed in accordance with the Terms and Conditions of the Open Call for Tender, which is to be launched during 2023, for the selection of the successful bidder, pursuant to section 20 of the Electricity Act, 2015 and the Integrated Resource Plan 2020 (IRP).
Introduction and BackgroundThe IRP, as published by the Ministry of Science, Energy and Technology (MSET), encapsulates the country’s long-term vision for the electricity sector during the 2021 – 2040 horizon. The IRP identifies priority investments in generation and the expansion of the grid. (The IRP can be viewed on www.mset.gov.jm.)
Jamaica has numerous options for the generation of power, prioritizing new renewable resources in the current process. The generation mix selected for the IRP’s horizon focuses on the following priorities: decarbonization, resilience and reduction in the price of electricity.
Further to the objectives and mandates in the IRP, the Government of Jamaica (GOj) has announced its revised goal of the renewable energy generation to 50% by 2030.
The GPE anticipates that mobilization of significant amounts of public and private investments will be required to allow for the timely commissioning of the targeted additional capacity.
Purpose of the EoIThe purpose of this Call for the EoI is to signal the beginning of the procurement period for new electricity generation capacity from renewable energy sources. The successful bidder that is approved by the Cabinet will construct, operate, and deliver renewable energy to the National Grid, through the completion of construction, testing and the execution of a standard Power Purchase Agreement.
The Call for the EoI will enable the GPE to identify and characterize an incipient portfolio of projects that can support the country´s goal to increase renewable energy sources in two types of products:
Energy Product and b) Firmness Capacity, to provide reliability to the system.
Based on the information collected, key inputs will be generated for future versions of the procurement instruments that will result in the definitive Open Call for Tender.
The Call for the EoI is the first step in the Open Call for Tender for new generation capacity.
