MSET (Ministry of Science, Energy, and Technology) is the government institution responsible for energy. NEPA (National Environment and Planning Agency) is responsible for permitting and tracking all environmental impact assessments. OUR (Office of Utility Regulators) is responsible for regulating Jamaica's electrical sector.
Jamaica is currently following the National Energy Policy 2009-2030. Jamaica's December 2020 update to its NDC (Nationally Determined Contribution) aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by more than 25% relative to business as usual levels by 2030, with the majority of reductions coming from the energy sector.
As of 2020, Jamaica's installed electrical capacity was 1156 MW, supplied primarily by fossil fuels (83.73%), followed by wind (8.82%), solar (4.93%) and hydro power (2.52%).
