Paulwell's power purge - Lead Stories - Jamaica Gleaner - Friday | July 6, 2012: "His June electricity bill was $23,632.90 but his next bill due for payment on July 16 is down to $4,796.82! The drastic reduction is as a result of a frustrated Science, Technology, Energy & Mining Minister Phillip Paulwell's decision to convert to solar power when 18 months ago, his regular bills ranged from the mid-20 thousands to, on at least one occasion, $30,000 per month. That set him on the path to find ways to decrease his dependency on the Jamaica Public Service (JPS) supply.

Naturally, with Jamaica's abundant supply of sunshine, solar energy topped his alternative energy sources list. His research led to a Cuba-based company that manufactures solar panels."
