Jamaica — Energy Infrastructure
OverWatts maps 8 energy assets in Jamaica across 3 layers — the 148th-largest mapped base of 157 countries. They include 3 LNG terminals, 3 power plants and 2 cement plants. Operating generation capacity is 464 MW, led by gas at 100%.
The companies named on the most assets are Excelerate Energy Inc (3), Caribbean Cement Co Ltd (1) and CEMEX Jamaica Ltd (1), counting both ownership and operatorship. Half of Jamaica's mapped assets in service predate 2019 (median commissioning year of the 6 with a known date), 4 came online in the past decade and the oldest still listed is Rockfort Cement Plant, dating from 1952.
Operating generation capacity by fuel
Utility-scale sites of 100 MW and above. Distributed generation — rooftop solar especially — is outside the tracker, so this runs below national installed capacity.
