1 College of Business and Hospitality Management - Theme - "Wholistic Synergy: Transformational Solutions through Research" Exploiting Entrepreneurial Prospects in Energy Efficiency in Jamaica Presenter: Earl Green, Ph.D; PMP Associate Professor Contact: earl.green@ncu.edu.jm

2 Abstract Prevailing market configurations and dynamics within the energy sector in Jamaica suggest a disconnect between the current market construct and potential opportunities for energy efficiency, which in many respects appears to be inhibiting entrepreneurial proclivity within the sector. This is somewhat confounding as it means that business opportunities are not being exploited which impairs the growth of the sector, but more importantly, the longer term sustainable development of the economy. To better understand this disconcerting phenomenon, the author investigates the influence of the prevailing institutional and structural build out of the sector, and the extent to which market orientation and awareness impact the uptake of business opportunities. The author postulates an industry energy efficiency value chain, an enabler to better understanding the value and immediacy of business opportunities within the sub-sector. The results suggest that business opportunities in the energy sector in Jamaica may be better exploited if foundational support is prioritized by way of policy modifications, culture shift, and awareness. The author also provides a platform for additional discussion on future implementation and research options. 2

15 Key Factors Influencing the Development of En-business Regulatory Aspect An enabling legal framework that would recognize clearly the status and specificities of an energy performance contract, supported by a justice system that can efficiently enforce contractual agreements. Copyright 2015 College of Business & Hospitality Management, NCU 15

16 Key Factors Influencing the Development of En-business Standards Specifications The presence of a neutral third-party institution that certifies ESCO products and/or services as an important commercial imperative. Copyright 2015 College of Business & Hospitality Management, NCU 16

18 Key Factors Influencing the Development of En-business The following represent three (3) additional challenges that could derail an ESCO development initiative if not strategically and effectively addressed. False Reliance Inadequate Institutional Support Provision of an alternate technical support mechanism. Use of Government facilities to anchor ESCO industry. Structural and Political Barriers Government commitment to system that precludes unnecessary and inappropriate intervention. Copyright 2015 College of Business & Hospitality Management, NCU 18
