Tropical Sugar Company Limited (TSCL) is set to become a transformative force in Jamaica’s sugar and renewable energy sectors. Strategically located on the Vere Plains of Clarendon, TSCL combines world-class sugar production with an innovative co-generation facility that converts sugarcane by-products into renewable energy. With a long-term lease on prime arable land from the Government of Jamaica, and close proximity to the JPS sub-station at Monymusk, our project is ideally positioned to support local agricultural development and energy sustainability.
The state-of-the-art facility in Chesterfield will utilize sugarcane to produce premium sugar and export renewable power. Using bagasse—the fiber left after extracting sugarcane juice—as a fuel source, our turbo generator will produce 12.50 megawatts (MW) of electricity, of which 7 MW will be supplied to the national grid via Jamaica Public Service (JPS). This dual-revenue model not only meets local sugar demand but also contributes to Jamaica’s renewable energy policy, ensuring economic and environmental benefits.
TSCL’s Co-Generation Project is a first-of-its-kind venture in Jamaica, demonstrating our commitment to advancing sustainable energy solutions and positioning Jamaica as a leader in eco-friendly industrial innovation. Through this unique business model, we aim to deliver reliable energy, high-quality sugar, and long-term value for our community and stakeholders.
