Wayne McKenzie, CEO of Jamaica Energy Partners
Chief Executive Office of Jamaica Energy Partners, Wayne McKenzie, has warned that renewable energy remains unreliable without proper storage.
He said solar and wind power are intermittent, switching on and off depending on conditions, and so more batteries are needed to store the power generated.
Mr. McKenzie noted that the Jamaica Public Service Company should be providing storage for 171 megawatts of power, but has not yet started.
He stressed that relying on renewables without batteries to hold excess power during off-peak periods makes the national grid insecure.
