Chart 1. Existing Hydropower Schemes Owned by JPS
In February 2003, JPS completed a comprehensive rehabilitation of its hydropower
plants, in partnership with the German Government through its development bank KfW
at a cost of US$27 million. In 2009 the Constant Spring hydropower plant was
rehabilitated and put back into service at a cost of US$1 million.
The PCJ has updated hydropower studies for Laughlands, Great River and Back Rio
Grande over the past two years (2008 – 2010) to indicate the energy and investment
potentials. The schemes have capacity potentials ranging from 1 MW to 8 MW. The
goal of PCJ’s hydropower development initiative is to stimulate productive uses of
hydroelectric power for poverty alleviation, environmental sustainability and economic
growth. The objectives are to:
Mobilize investors with proven experience and financing capabilities,
Create local employment and development opportunities in rural communities,
Leverage the Clean Development Mechanism
