JSIF’s REDI-2 Project supporting climate-resilient approaches within the agriculture sector

Under the current REDI-2 project, the JSIF has recently collaborated with the NIC to install a PV Solar System at the Plumwood Pumping Station in Southern Manchester. Over J$37.1 million was invested to supply and install a 79.2 kW grid-tied photovoltaic system, which aims to reduce the JPSCo energy cost of the National Irrigation Commission and allow the agency to continue subsidizing the cost of irrigation water for farmers. The project consists of supplying, installation, and commissioning of a grid-tied 79.2-kilowatt solar photovoltaic (PV) system to serve the Plumwood Pumping Station in New Forrest and will facilitate the NIC’s transition to clean and renewable energy for its operations. The installed PV system will also allow the entity to have an alternative energy source.
