Testimonials

  • Bruce Levy  President &CEO
    On our initial trip to Jamaica in 2012, we saw the opportunity to positively impact
    economic development via lower cost, renewable energy. JAMPRO was as asset in getting
    our company started and also by providing connections with the necessary regulatory,
    government and private sector organizations. BMR Jamaica Wind Limited’s 36.3MW wind
    park has now been operating for over 3 successful years and we are excited about our
    plans to expand our business here with further investment as Jamaica aggressively
    progresses toward 50% renewables by 2030

  • Angella Rainford
    We found Jamaica to be a welcoming environment for investment in its energy sector. It’s
    key stakeholders and decisionmakers have made significant efforts to enhance
    transparency in the market and also to protect the sanctity of contract. These efforts have
    bolstered investor confidence in Jamaica. The renewable energy sector has a promising
    future in Jamaica. With its wealth of renewable energy sources, such as solar, combined
    with future technological and cost improvements, Jamaica has significant room for growth
    in this sector. Current renewable penetration is <10% and the government has set an
    achievable target of >30% renewable penetration by 2030
