Lobby group, Citizens United to Reduce the cost of Electricity (CURE), wants the Office of Utilities Regulation (OUR), to say why it is suspending the non-competitive process for the generation of renewable based electricity.
The electricity generated would be sold to the Jamaica Public Service Company (JPS).
The OUR made the announcement yesterday in a paid advertisement, indicating that the new measures take immediate effect.
The OUR has suspended the processing of non-competitive proposals for the generation of up to 25 megawatts of electricity from renewable energy sources.
The OUR said the suspension will remain until the completion of a competitive tender exercise to procure up to 115 mega Watts of power.
