The Energy Monitoring Committee (EMC) is a joint public/private oversight group which was established arising out of concerns with the lack of transparency and credibility surrounding the 381 Megawatt Project. These concerns were expressed by the JCC, JMA, and PSOJ in a letter to the Hon. Prime Minister on October 8th 2013, following the disqualification of Azurest Cambridge, the preferred bidder at the time, and the subsequent elevation of EWI to preferred bidder, despite our supporting the view of the Contractor General that the process was flawed. This position was supported by the Jamaica Civil Society Coalition (JCSC), which also asked for the EMC to be formed.
