Mystic Mountain developer, Michael Drakulich, has hired the Jamaican Renewable Energy company, Alternative Power Sources, to design/costruct the solar & wind power elements for Old Fort Village, a gated community to be built in St Ann. The Kingston 10 architectural team of Ann Hodges and O'Niel Johnson will guide the architectural design.

The housing development, comprising 10 townhouses and apartments, will be the Caribbean's first development completely powered by renewable energy sources...
The technology has made advances in the last eight years and is now readily available. The expertise exists in Jamaica to design and install a system that will eliminate ever having to pay JPS or anyone else for electricity..
The beachside development at Old Fort Bay will use an energy independent green technology. It has solar water heating and a biodigester — which treats wastewater without oxygen — but no link to the JPS grid.
