Funded by the International Finance Corporation (World Bank), the Jamaica Energy Partners (JEP) which owns and operates a 74.16 MW (net) electricity generating facility (The Doctor Bird Power Barge), plans to increase its generating capacity by installing a second but smaller barge. This will increase JEP’s capacity by 49.5 MW, which would result in the company having a total net installed capacity of 123.63 MW. The site for the second barge is adjacent to the existing barge and places three electricity- generating facilities in close proximity to each other, the third being the Jamaica Public Service Company (JPS) Power plant in Old Harbour Bay, St. Catherine. The JEP Power Barge has been in operation since 1995.
