JPS Rockfort power Plant

JPS Rockfort power Plant

Energy Company, Jamaica Public Service (JPS), received formal approval from the Jamaican Government for its proposal to proceed with the construction of a 190MW plant to replace the company’s existing units at the Old Harbour power station, located on the southern coast of Jamaica.JPS is pursuing fuel diversification of its power generation fleet, in favour of lower cost Natural Gas. JPS stated that a “market study undertaken by JPS in 2014 indicated that Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) and Natural Gas Liquids (NGL’s) such as propane and ethane, are viable options for power generation and can realise significant reduction in the cost of electricity.”
The Project is to be located at the existing Old Harbour site and is nominally rated at 190 MW under site conditions (197 MW – new and clean). JPS will also seek to convert the existing Bogue combined cycle project in Western Jamaica to gas fuel. The main receiving terminal will be located at the Old Harbour project. “JPS has initially determined that an onshore terminal is cost effective, compared to the larger capacity and productivity of larger FSRU-type terminals. Construction should begin on the Old Harbour Terminal and Power Plant before the end of the year, and commercial operation is expected by the end of 2017” JPS said.
“An Independent Engineer has been retained for the Bogue conversion. JPS will present its recommendation to proceed with the project to the Jamaican Regulator, the Office of Utilities Regulation (OUR), at the end of February 2015. Pending regulatory approval for the costs of the gas conversion, the Bogue project is expected to enter construction in second quarter of 2015 and would begin use of gas fuel by first quarter of 2016,” the company stated.
JPS said it “has employed various market intelligence services, which suggest that LNG is expected to provide the most stable cost to the Jamaican economy. However, Natural Gas Liquids present a short term opportunity, particularly Ethane or LPG. JPS is considering floating storage, fixed tank or mobile tank systems as well as a combination of each storage option which could accept these different fuels or switch fuels cost effectively.”
Jamaica Public Service Company Limited (JPS) is an integrated electric utility company and the sole distributor of electricity in Jamaica. The Company is engaged in the generation, transmission and distribution of electricity, and also purchases power from a number of Independent Power Producers. JPS currently serves over 603,000 customers through a workforce of 1,700 employees. The Company owns and operates 4 power stations, 9 renewable plants, 43 substations and approximately 14,000 kilometres of transmission and distribution lines.

JPSCO list new preference shares

November 4, 2013 by

The Jamaica Public Service listed its new offering of 2,455,607 units of Class F 9.5% Cumulative Non-Redeemable Preference Shares on the Jamaica Stock Exchange. The shares were offered through a private placement. The shares will be traded under the symbol JPS9.5. The security has a market capitalization of $2.579 billion or 33.0% of the overall market capital of the preference shares listed.

Street Forrest, General Manager of the JSE told the audience that, “The JSE welcomes these new securities as we believe if we are to encourage investors to invest in the development of our country, we have to provide them with not only a transparent and efficient marketplace through which to invest but the products in which to invest. Ownership by Jamaicans in Jamaican companies, whether through ordinary shares or preference shares, is a critical path in improving the infrastructure leading to sustainable development. This is what the Stock Exchange seeks to foster through the different markets that we operate. We are committed to the development of the capital market but we cannot do it alone.  The government and the private sector must see the need for the development and especially the formation of capital through equity financing”.

JPSMeter200x200Street Forrest went on to say “I wish to congratulate JPS again for listing. The very nature of these Class F shares, being non-redeemable has some characteristics of ordinary shares”.

Kelly Tomblin, CEO of JPS, stated that “JPS has been a part of the national landscape for more than 90 years, and a long standing partner in over 95% of households and businesses across Jamaica. We believe that it is appropriate for Jamaicans to have more personal stake in the company that plays such an important role in national development”.  She also promised that there will be other securities listed on the Exchange in the future by JPS.
