Barriers to small hydropower development<br />

Currently the main hurdle to the development of new<br />

small hydropower projects in Jamaica is the need for<br />

easier access to information on potential sites, and a<br />

corresponding institutional framework and regulatory<br />

platform that facilitate and attract private investment.<br />

One of the objectives of the ESEE Project is to<br />

strengthen the regulatory framework, to improve the<br />

institutional capacity and to streamline access to<br />

information by private investors interested in small<br />

hydropower.<br />
