Jamaica Energy Partners, West Kingston Power Partners and Jamaica Private Power Company form the largest independent power-producing group in Jamaica.

We're committed to the island's energy needs and community sustainability. Jamaica Energy Partners (JEP) commenced operations in September 1995, through its ownership of the Doctor Bird Power Plant. The company is currently the largest Independent Power Producer (IPP) in Jamaica. JEP owns and operates two power barges, Doctor Bird I and Doctor Bird II, with outputs of 74.2 MW and 50.2 MW respectively; or a combined output of 124.4 MW. Doctor Bird II’s generating capacity was added in March 2006, and this barge is located approximately 300 yards from the original. JEP’s affiliate company, West Kingston Power Partners (WKPP), is a land-based, 65.5 MW Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO) power plant located in the Western Kingston area. Arguably one of the most beautiful plants in Jamaica, it is now home to our head office, which was previously located in New Kingston. Additionally, Jamaica Energy Partners now manages the Jamaica Private Power Company (JPPC), a 60MW power plant located in Rockfort, Kingston. JPPC, which is also an Independent Power Provider (IPP). JPPC utilizes slow-speed diesel generators and HFO to produce electricity for sale to the grid. With the introduction of WKPP in July 2012 and the acquisition of JPPC in March 2019, JEP’s total generating capacity has increased to approximately 250 MW, making the company one of the major suppliers of electricity in Jamaica. In fact, among the three facilities, JEP, JPPC and WKPP supply approximately 40% of the energy requirements of the national grid. JEP, JPPC and WKPP are owned by the InterEnergy Group.

Learning Beyond the Classroom!

As part of our shared commitment to education, environmental stewardship and sustainable development, the Jamaica Energy Partners (JEP) Group continues to collaborate with fellow InterEnergy affiliate, InterEnergy Jamaica Wind (IJW), to create meaningful learning opportunities for Jamaica’s youth.

We recently welcomed Environmental Science students from Munro College to the InterEnergy Jamaica Wind facility in Malvern, St Elizabeth, where they explored wind energy and conducted flora and fauna sampling for their internal assessments.

Through initiatives like these, we are connecting classroom lessons with practical experiences, helping the next generation better understand renewable energy, environmental conservation and the importance of a sustainable future.

Our commitment goes beyond wearing pink. 🎀💗

Together, we’re supporting women in prioritising their health and raising awareness of the importance of early detection.

250 megawatts is a measure of generating capacity, but the more important story is what sits behind it.

Across Jamaica Energy Partners, West Kingston Power Partners, and Jamaica Private Power Company, trained teams operate and maintain the assets that provide approximately 250 MW of capacity, roughly 25% of Jamaica’s electricity requirements.

That contribution depends on people, planning, maintenance, safety, and continuous attention to performance. Over the coming weeks, we will show you more of the work behind the number.
