Risk Review Leads to Alternative Plan for Jamaica Fuel Conversion

摘要

As many who work in the Caribbean energy markets know, Jamaica has been trying for years to import liquefied natural gas (LNG). Unfortunately, suppliers have deemed the Jamaican market too small to support a full-scale LNG storage and regasification facility, so the need has remained unmet. To answer the call, Marubeni, a stakeholder in the Caribbean power-generating industry asked our Engineering Services team to review the technical and safety risks of two alternate plans for refueling the Bogue Power Station, a light distillate oil-fired, combined-cycle facility near Montego Bay, Jamaica. (Note: As one of several investors in Jamaica Public Service Co. Ltd. (JPS), Marubeni engaged NAES for an independent study and does not speak for the other investors or for JPS.)
