The rise in global temperatures, combined with severe weather conditions, floods and droughts are forcing policy makers to consider reducing their carbon footprints. The Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) provides incentives to countries that take steps to reduce their emission levels, under the guidelines of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). The Office of Disaster Preparedness and Emergency Management (ODPEM) has indicated that the impact of natural disasters on Jamaica over the past decade has resulted in total damage estimates of about J$87,481 Million (US$994 Million), an annual average of J$9,720 Million (US$110 Million). Most of these costs relate to hurricanes (e.g. Charley, Ivan, Dennis, Emily, Wilma and Dean), while other costs relate to severe rain storms and flooding. The Ministry of Energy and Mining has drafted a Carbon Trading Policy which outlines the framework for project development. The PCJ has initiated a hydropower programme of activities for registration with the CDM Board, through the executing agency, MEM. 2.5 JAMAICA’S HYDROPOWER DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES Jamaica has over one hundred (100) rivers, several of which are suitable for hydropower development. The energy from eight existing hydropower generating run-of-the-river plants, which are currently owned and operated by JPS, provides about 140,000 MWh of 8
ase load energy to the national electricity grid, representing approximately 87,000 barrels of oil equivalent import savings. At US100 per barrel of oil, the estimated annual oil import cost savings is US$ 8.7 million. Hydropower currently accounts for about seventy percent (70%) of the total renewable energy inputs to the electricity generated; or 3.3% of total grid connected electricity. Other RE sources include: fuel woods, bagasse cogeneration in the sugar factories, ethanol in gasoline (E10), wind and solar energy resources. Jamaica’s total installed hydropower capacity is outlined in Table 3 below: Table 3.
