Project Description

The project (the “Project”) consists of developing a 34 MW greenfield wind power plant in Jamaica. It will entail i) the installation of 11 3.3 MW Vestas 112 wind turbine generators (WTGs), ii) the construction of a 18 km 69 kV transmission line; and iii) the upgrade of the Spur Tree interconnection substation. The Project is expected to produce approximately 122 Gwhs annually which will be sold under a 20-year power purchase agreement to the sector’s sole utility, Jamaica Public Service Company (“JPS”).

The Project was awarded to Blue Mountain Renewables LLC in September 2013 under the renewable generation tender launched by the sector’s regulator in November 2012 on a Build, Own and Operate (BOO) basis. Commissioning is expected by year end 2015.
