Jamalco is a joint venture between Noble Group and Clarendon Alumina Production (CAP) with a focus on bauxite mining and alumina production. The company started as a bauxite mining venture by Alcoa in 1959 and exported its first shipment of bauxite in 1963. The company began alumina production at a new refinery in Halse Hall Clarendon in 1972 with a production capacity of 500,000 metric tonnes per year (mtpy), which it exported from its port facility at Rocky Point.   The refinery’s capacity was upgraded to 1 million mtpy in 1999 and then to1.25 million mtpy in 2003. The completion of a further upgrade in March 2007 lifted the production capacity of the refinery to 1.425 million metric tonnes per year.   In 1988, the Government of Jamaica acquired a 50 percent share in the operations. The resulting company was named Jamalco, with Alcoa as the managing partner. Following the 2007 expansion, Jamalco’s ownership structure changed with Alcoa owning 55 percent and the Government of Jamaica, 45 percent.  In December 2014, global commodities company Noble Group (SGX N21) acquired Alcoa’s 55 percent stake in Jamalco, while Clarendon Alumina Partners (CAP) retains its 45 percent ownership of the joint venture.

Jamalco’s core is the mining of  bauxite and refining  it into alumina before it is exported from its port at Rocky Point, Clarendon.  On average, 2.5 tonnes of bauxite produce one tonne of alumina. The alumina is exported to aluminium smelters where it takes  about  two tonnes  of alumina to produce one tonne of aluminium metal.     The bauxite mines are located in South Manchester on the Mount Oliphant plateau and in Harmons Valley.   The railhead,  from which bauxite is trammed to the refinery,  is located at St. Jago in Clarendon. The refinery is located at Halse Hall, Clarendon,  and the port from which alumina is shipped is located at Rocky Point also in Clarendon.

Jamalco’s Quality Policy states: “Jamalco is committed to being “The Best Alumina Producer”

This means that Jamalco will relentlessly pursue continual improvement to:

• consistently delivering world class alumina
• enhance customer satisfaction by consistently meeting and exceeding their expectations
• be cost effective and remain competitive in the global market
• Operate in a safe, environmentally and socially responsible manner.

In addition to its role to facilitate and promote economic growth and national development, the DBJ’s Mission is to ‘provide opportunities to all Jamaicans to improve their quality of life through development, financing, capacity building, public-private partnership and privatisation solutions in keeping with Government policy’. Hence the Bank’s focus on:  (a) Ensuring that low-cost funds are available to all viable enterprises in the productive sectors which include agriculture, agro-processing, information processing, infrastructure, services,  manufacturing,  mining and tourism. (b) Increasing the capacity of financial and non-financial intermediaries and investors in the micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSME) sector, and making interventions in emerging sectors such as energy efficiency and conservation, micro-finance and venture capital.  (c) Managing and executing the Government’s public-private partnership  and  privatization  programmes  through which entrepreneurship is developed and the ownership base of public entities is broadened.

While the DBJ continues to provide funding and technical assistance to large projects, it has expanded and improved its assistance to MSMEs which are widely recognised as the engine of economic growth and development, especially in small economies.

Our Foundation

The Jamaica Public Service Company Limited’s (JPS) connection to communities and the country is rooted deeper and stronger than its island-wide electricity grid and its network of power plants. JPS views its role as much larger than a utility company and have consistently supported Jamaica’s national development plans through community outreach.

The JPS Foundation is the philanthropic arm of Jamaica’s Energy Partner, JPS, and was established formally in October 2012 as the main channel for employee outreach initiatives and community development projects, thereby cementing its commitment to community and national development. The Foundation’s overall objective is to contribute to national development by supporting projects that will improve lives and strengthen communities. This is being achieved through careful selection of projects to ensure lasting impact, and through strategic partnerships with individuals and groups that share a similar vision for Jamaica. Guided by the Vision, “Unleash national growth and prosperity by being the not-for-profit partner of choice in Jamaica’s Energy Revolution”, the Foundation has mandated itself to “Improve lives and empower Jamaicans through charitable development projects in Energy Education, Conservation and Innovation.” In order to achieve these goals, the JPS Foundation continues to implement its own signature programmes and partner with international, government, non-government, community-based, and private sector organizations implementing projects in areas aligned to its Mission and three areas of focus: Energy Education, Science, Energy and Technology Innovation and Conservation & Energy Efficiency Awareness.

As major players in the development of Jamaica, JPS and its Foundation embraces the need to effect change in the nation and is supporting through the objectives of Jamaica’s Vision 2030 as well as the United Nation Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The JPS Foundation received approved charity status in March 2016.
