Energy Minister Clive Mullings says Jamaica is planning to build a solar energy plant in the island's southeast to help reduce its annual US$3.7 billion energy bill. Mullings said two weeks ago, that the plant is one of the government's top 12 projects and within three months, officials will announce cost estimates and a start date for construction. The facility will be financed through Venezuela's Petrocaribe program, which provides poor nations with cheap oil and money for community projects. Previous governments have sought to reduce energy costs by installing photovoltaic street lights and promoting the use of ethanol. The government expects to mandate island-wide use of ethanol-blended fuel by April 2009. Source: IHT
