The White House yesterday announced that the US Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC) would intensify its focus on developing green-energy projects in the Caribbean and that Jamaica is to be the largest beneficiary.
The US Department of the Interior and the Department of State are working with Jamaica to facilitate commercial renewable energy on public lands.
OPIC, the White House said, will disburse the first tranche of approximately US$43 million in financing for Blue Mountain Renewables’ 34-megawatt wind project.
