JPS says just over 13,000 customers remain without power

The Jamaica Public Service (JPS) has indicated that just over 13,000 customers remain without power.

JPS explained that power restoration in some areas are being hampered by various issues such as landslides, access challenges and difficult terrain.

The majority of customers still waiting to be reconnected to the grid are in St. Elizabeth.

Of the almost 38,000 customers in that parish, more than 26,000 already have electricity restored to them, with a balance of over 11, 500 due to receive power by August 31.

The JPS said power restoration to customers in other parishes is near completion.

Manchester has just over 1,000 customers awaiting supply. 

JPS said there are instances in which customers are without power due to access issues.

One such area is Firehole in Hanover, where 30 customers are unrestored, due to a landslide.

Another example is in Westphalia in rural St. Andrew, where under 20 customers are out, because JPS utility vehicles cannot access the location.

JPS said it continues to work diligently to resolve these issues.
