Table 2. Declared Avoided Generation costs (OUR June 2008) The government presently declares a premium of up to 15% above the avoided cost for renewable energy projects. This premium is set at the Policy level by the Ministry of Energy. This premium may be varied as is necessary to stimulate the take up of renewable energy solutions. 1.5 Solid Waste To Energy Jamaica’s municipal solid waste to energy potential is untapped. Waste disposal sites received about 940,000 tonnes of garbage during the year 2006. This figure is projected to increase to 1.2 million tonnes by 2010. The Government of Jamaica is moving to undertake waste to energy developments, which will convert the waste at the disposal sites to useful energy for the country. Untreated municipal solid waste contributes to poor health standards, greenhouse gas emissions and is sometimes beset by fires which break out spontaneously. A waste characterization study was conducted in the 1990’s by Norconsult which indicated that approximately 50 to 60% of the waste is biodegradable. Characterization studies conducted by the NSWMA during the period 2000 – 2007 have indicated that biodegradables are 50 – 69% of domestic waste.

Waste Characterization The International Energy Agency (IEA) classifies waste as follows: • Biomass – consists of plant matter used directly as fuel, including agricultural waste (e.g. bagasse), animal materials/wastes, human waste and waste water. • Municipal solid waste – consists of biodegradable and combustible products collected from households, industry and tertiary sector by local authorities. Jamaica’s municipal solid waste includes: 1. Organic or compostable waste – food waste and agricultural waste 2. Paper/Cardboard – newspaper, office paper, journals, magazines, books, bags, packaging 3. Plastic – bottles, bags, wrapping, packaging, records, compact disks, toys 4. Glass – bottles, scrap, mirrors 5. Metal/Tin – cans, scrap, nails, aluminum, construction scrap, wire, utensils 6. Wood/Board – hardwood, furniture, construction scrap 7. Textiles – fabric, upholstery, sheets, clothes, etc 8. Other: Ceramics (porcelain plates, tiles, fixtures and fittings, tubs), Tires, Electronics (televisions, component sets, computers, accessories) and Miscellaneous waste. Over the past ten years, municipal solid waste deposited at disposal sites has grown by an annual average rate of 6% per year. It is important to note that the National Solid Waste Management Authority estimates that 75% of the country’s domestic waste is collected, while the remainder is uncollected due to inaccessibility, competing disposal practices and improper waste management practices. Private waste management firms compete with the National Solid Waste Management Authority by establishing long term contracts with businesses, hotels and residential complexes for garbage removal.
