The Government’s drive to bring cheaper and cleaner energy to the country has been advanced with the arrival of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) for the Jamaica Public Service Company (JPS) power plant in Bogue, St. James.
The shipment from New Fortress Energy arrived at the Port of Montego Bay on Saturday.
JPS Chief Executive Officer, Kelly Tomblin, says the introduction of LNG as part of the energy mix represents a historic milestone for Jamaica as the country pursues energy diversification and expansion.
Tomblin says New Fortress has pumped US$750 million into the construction of the LNG terminal.
A year ago, it signed an agreement with the JPS to supply LNG for the 120-megawatt power plant in Bogue.
Earlier this year, the plant was converted to run on gas as well as Automotive Diesel Oil.
