Caribbean's largest solar power plant for Jamaica
Canadian firm Solamon Energy Corporation has announced plans to build the Caribbean's biggest solar power plant in Jamaica.
It is expected that the program, estimated to cost 450 million dollars, will enhance and improve Jamaica's energy infrastructure, as well as help attract additional investment in the ICT and greentech sectors.
Several parishes are being considered as future homes of one of three 50-acre plots that when conjoined will provide Jamaica with 60 mega watts of clean electricity.
Solamon Senior Vice President, Ainsley Brown, says the mega-project will create many new jobs for Jamaicans, and with the completion of a requisite light manufacturing plant, will establish the island as a bona-fide greentech hub.

This is a great idea creating jobs and saving the enviornment what a home run one thing i would like to see is a time line for the start of the project and not just all talk so that people who are interested in employment can apply early and not after project is completed because by then only town people will get these job country people only know when the jobs are all gone never the less excellent idea.
Cannot wait for the plant to gain approval and funding.
