The Office of Utilities Regulation, OUR is to provide a comprehensive update on the steps it has taken to ensure speedy restoration of power to Jamaica Public Service, JPS customers.

The update will be done at this week’s Post Cabinet Press Conference on Wednesday at 9 AM.

Energy Minister Daryl Vaz and the JPS have been updating the nation on the company’s power restoration efforts since Hurricane Beryl’s passage on July 3.

However, Mr. Vaz has criticized the JPS for providing what he said are flawed updates as many customers remain without electricity.

Noting that the OUR has responsibility for regulating the JPS, Mr. Vaz said the OUR was summoned to cabinet today

He said during today’s meeting cabinet members expressed concern about the utility regulator’s lack of advocacy during this critical period.

Mr. Vaz wants the OUR to apply more pressure on the JPS.

Meantime Energy Minister Daryl Vaz says the Jamaica Public Service, JPS needs to reinvest in its infrastructure.

He says while the JPS submitted its hurricane plan prior to the start of the season the impacts of Hurricane Beryl and other weather events highlight that the company must pay urgent attention to its infrastructure.
