The Jamaica Public Service (JPS) says power has been restored to approximately 49% of customers in St. Elizabeth.

The parish was the hardest hit by Hurricane Beryl which impacted the island two weeks ago.

Among key areas where power was restored are Black River, Lacovia, Junction, Alligator Pond, Elderslie, Top Hill and Santa Cruz.

Meantime, power has been restored to more than 96% percent of JPS customers in other parishes.

The company says restoration efforts continue island wide.
