Jamaica will launch the largest renewable energy and battery storage tender in the Caribbean, targeting 220 MW of clean power and 110 MW of battery storage. The Generation Procurement Entity (GPE) will issue a Request for Information on March 19, with feedback due by April 10, ahead of a formal auction in Q3 2026.

This tender supports Jamaica's goal of generating half its electricity from renewable sources by 2030. Bids can include solar, wind, or combinations, provided they meet the battery requirements. Contracts will be governed by Jamaica's Electricity Act, 2015, with winning bidders signing 20-year power purchase agreements.
