SECTOR 01
Renewable Energy
Utility-scale generation for an island ready to power itself.
OVERVIEW
Jamaica's energy transition is one of the Caribbean's defining infrastructure opportunities: a grid historically dependent on imported fuel, a government committed to renewable targets, and abundant solar resource. Confiance develops utility-scale renewable generation — with solar at the core — to help the island move toward independent, resilient, affordable power.
THE OPPORTUNITY
50% by 2030
Jamaica's national target for renewable electricity generation — raised from an earlier 30% — anchors one of the Caribbean's most ambitious energy transitions.
~10%
The share of electricity Jamaica generated from renewables as of 2024 — most of the national target still to be built.
100 MW
New utility-scale solar awarded in the 2024 procurement round — evidence of an active, investable pipeline.
OUR APPROACH
Renewable development is won on fundamentals: land, interconnection, permitting, and disciplined capital structure. The Group works across that full development chain, pairing Jamaican regulatory and site knowledge with international engineering and capital partners, and holding assets with a long-horizon owner's mindset rather than a developer's exit clock.
THE VALUE CHAIN
- Site & permit
- Structure capital
- Build
- Generate
- Deliver power
WHERE WE’RE FOCUSED
- Utility-scale solar generation
- Battery storage integration
- Commercial and industrial energy solutions that let Jamaican enterprise buy cleaner, steadier power
IN THE GROUP SYSTEM
Energy is the Group's anchor. The power it develops feeds its agricultural and data-centre ambitions — and every venture in the portfolio benefits from cleaner, cheaper electricity.
QUESTIONS WE’RE OFTEN ASKED
- What kinds of renewable projects does Confiance pursue?
- Utility-scale solar is the core, with battery storage integration and commercial and industrial energy solutions alongside it. We work across the full development chain — land, interconnection, permitting, and capital structure.
- Does Confiance build and operate projects, or only invest?
- Both, with an owner's mindset. The Group develops assets to hold and operate over long horizons rather than to a developer's exit clock.
- Why Jamaica?
- Abundant solar resource, a national commitment to 50% renewable electricity by 2030, an active procurement pipeline, and a grid ready to move off imported fuel.
