Additional linemen from the region are expected to arrive in Jamaica today and tomorrow to support electricity restoration work across the island.

This follows the arrival of the first batch of linemen from Guyana and Belize at the weekend.

The workers will be helping the Jamaica Public Service (JPS) to ramp up the pace of electricity restoration in the coming days.

This, as hundreds of customers remain without electricity following the passage of Hurricane Beryl more than two weeks ago.

JPS has indicated that the workers will initially be assigned to St. Elizabeth, the parish hardest hit by Hurricane Beryl.

Some 300 workers are expected to be deployed to the parish to assist with the post-Beryl electricity restoration work.

JPS said the workers who are set to arrive today include some from the Cayman Islands.
