Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what steps the Government is taking to support the transfer of technology to Jamaica in relation to the renewable energy programme in that country.

The UK has provided 9% of donor funding to the 6th replenishment of the Global Environment Facility (GEF6). Total funding for GEF6 including projected investment income and other sources of finance is expected to be $4.43bn (2014-2018). The GEF is currently providing $2.3m to the Low Greenhouse Gas Emissions (LGGE) Project, a programme which is promoting Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy in Buildings in Jamaica.
