Energy Minister Daryl Vaz says plans are being put in place to procure up to 268 megawatts of electricity generation from renewable sources by 2025.
He says this includes energy from solar and wind technologies, with 70 megawatts from hydro, biomass and waste technologies.
Mr. Vaz say it is his priority to have the Generation Procurement Entity established.
The renewable energy target is in keeping with the Integrated Resource Plan which is a 20-year road map for Jamaica's electricity investment landscape.
It envisions that 33 per cent of electricity generation by 2030, will be met from renewables and 50 per cent by 2037.
