Abstract

This chapter critically examines the three distinctive periods in Jamaica’s energy landscape. The analysis initiates with the use of coal-burning steam generators in 1892 and the energy use transition to the early 2000s through the integration of significant installed power capacity of wind and solar energy and finally a glimpse into the future outlook of the overall energy mix with enhanced energy storage mechanisms. Therefore, a deep-dive analysis into the role of fossil fuels, renewable energy and more so transition pathways to a low carbon economy through renewables higher penetration vis a vis the energy mix. This will be presented in tandem with three future timelines; 2027, 2030 and 2055. These timelines have been selected through their regional, local and internationally established importance of carbon dioxide mitigation targets.
