KINGSTON, Jamaica — The Jamaica Public Service (JPS) has sought to advise the public that while a vast majority of its customers will see their electricity restored by Saturday, July 13, there are some residents in ‘smaller areas’ that will still be without service.

In a release on Friday, JPS revealed that currently, approximately 632,000 of its 692,000 customers now have electricity as the company moves into the final stages of its islandwide restoration efforts.

Blaine Jarret, JPS’ senior vice president of energy delivery, in the release, explained that the company will continue to give attention to  ‘smaller areas’ until they are fully restored.

JPS says it is also redeploying resources where possible, to “aggressively push ahead to these areas.”

According to the release, the parish of St Elizabeth remains on a different timeline, with full restoration expected in roughly a month. The light and power company is also reporting that all hospitals and major health care facilities are energised.
