This article focuses on the quantity of energy we consume — looking at total energy and electricity consumption; how countries compare when we look at this per person; and how energy consumption is changing over time. When we look at total energy consumption, differences across countries often reflect differences in population size: countries with lots of people inevitably consume more energy.

Jamaica's electricity sector is dominated by non-renewable generators that use petroleum products, primarily Bunker C fuel oil and automotive diesel which generated 93% of the annual output for 2014. There is a small contribution from a few small hydroelectric plants and a couple of wind farms, one of which, Wigton Wind Farm,. The following are some of the larger installations currently connected to the grid:More than 20,000 Jamaican homes are expected to be powered. In June 2012 Energy Minister Phillip Paulwell disclosed that, approximately 16,000 homes in remote parts of the island which do not have electricity are to be.

A photovoltaic power station, also known as a solar park, solar farm, or solar power plant, is a large-scale grid-connected photovoltaic power system (PV system) designed for the supply of merchant power. They are different from most building-mounted and other decentralized solar power because they supply power at the utility. Solar power plants are developed to deliver merchant electricity into the grid as an alternative to other renewable, fossil or nuclear generating stations. Most solar power plants today are owned by • • • • • The land area required for a desired power output varies depending on the location, the efficiency of the solar panels, the slope of the site, and the type of mounting used.

The quality of electricity supplied is set forth in international standards and their local derivatives, adopted by different countries: EN50160 is the European standard for power quality, setting the acceptable limits of distortion for the different parameters defining voltage in AC power.
