1.1 Background

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 (IPPs).

Marubeni Corporation of Japan and East West Power Company (EWP) of Korea, are majority shareholders, with joint ownership of eighty percent of the shares in JPS. The Government of Jamaica and a small group of minority shareholders own the remaining shares.

JPS serves about 585,000 residential, commercial and industrial customers, through a workforce of approximately 1,500 employees and a network of offices throughout the island. The Company owns and operates 4 power stations, 8 hydroelectric plants, one wind park, 43 substations, and approximately 14,000 kilometers of distribution and transmission lines. The total installed generating capacity is 789 MW. The Company owns 80% or 621.0 MW of this capacity. The remaining 168MW is owned by IPPs.

The Company has a vibrant corporate social responsibility portfolio and makes significant contributions in the areas of education, sports, and community development. The Company also has a strong environmental focus and carries out its operations in an environmentally friendly manner.

The Office of Utilities Regulation (OUR) has regulatory authority over JPS' operations.

JPS is committed to becoming a leader in the transition of transportation in Jamaica from fossil fuels to electricity, and as such, is investing in a public electric vehicle charging network.
