Jamaica is making significant strides in its transition to renewable energy, with ambitious plans to substantially increase its solar power capacity. The Spanish Town and Vernamfield Solar projects, aiming to add 200 MW, are key components of this initiative.
[pdf] The completed installation features 174,000 “low-carbon” solar panels deployed over approximately 130 hectares around the runway. It is now connected to the local E.ON grid distribution system and is capable of generating enough energy annually to cover the consumption of about 18,000 Swedish houses.
[pdf] Venezuela has set a target to generate 85% electricity from RE sources by 2030 under the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. 7 Venezuela Development Plan for the National Electric System aims to integrate RE by including it in both the medium- term (2013-2019) and long-term (2014-2033) strategy.8 Venezuela receives high levels of solar irradiation (GHI) of 5.4 kWh/m2/day and specific yield 5.2 kWh/kWp/day indica- ng a high technical feasibility for solar in the country. 9 In 2021, Venezuela had commissioned its first grid connected solar pv system to ensure continuous power to broadband transport networks. 10 Venezuela has a rooftop solar installed capacity of 0.05 MW. 22 100% of the population in Venezuela had access to electricity as of 2020. 12 CORPOELEC is an integrated state-owned operating company responsible for carrying out activities of Generation, Transmission, Distribution and Marketing of power.
