List of power stations in Jamaica
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a list of electricity-generating power stations in Jamaica, sorted by type and name.
In Jamaica, the Jamaica Public Service Company (JPS) has a monopoly on the "transmission, distribution and supply of electricity".[1] However, JPS does not have a monopoly on electricity generation. Jamaica also has Independent Power Providers (IPPs) which "are private entities that own and operate facilities to generate electricity for sale to the national grid."[2]
