As we celebrate 30 years of service to Jamaica, we reflect with pride on the journey that began in 1995 with the commissioning of Doctor Bird I in Old Harbour Bay. What started as a single power barge has evolved into a steadfast energy partner for the nation, consistently delivering reliable and efficient power to support Jamaica’s development.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!Our evolution has been shaped by innovation, resilience, and a deep sense of national duty. The addition of Doctor Bird II strengthened our contribution to the national grid and reaffirmed our commitment to powering homes, businesses, and industries across the island. Through every challenge and achievement, our focus has remained the same: to support Jamaica’s growth and to serve the people who depend on us.
Beyond energy, we have always believed in the power of community. Our investments in education, health, skills training, culture, and environmental stewardship reflect our understanding that meaningful progress comes from lifting people and building stronger communities. The partnerships we have formed in Old Harbour Bay and across St Catherine continue to inspire our mission and guide the work we do each day.
This milestone belongs to every member of the JEP family. I extend heartfelt thanks to our employees, whose dedication has been the foundation of our success, and to our partners, stakeholders and communities, who have supported our vision for the past three decades.
As we look to the future, we remain committed to advancing Jamaica’s energy landscape through sustainable growth, innovation and responsible leadership. Our journey continues with purpose and confidence in the brighter, more energy-efficient future we are helping to shape.
Here is to 30 years of power, progress and possibility and to the many years of service still ahead.
