The Jamaica Public Service, JPS, projects that by the weekend, it will have full restoration of service to customers affected by outages caused by Tropical Storm Rafael.
The company said less than 2,000 customers are still without electricity.
This projection of full restoration by next Sunday, November 10, comes as the company concludes its assessment of the damage to the electricity network caused by the heavy rains and strong winds associated with the tropical storm.
JPS president Hugh Grant said the company was prepared and had activated the 24 hour incident command operations early so that teams could start restoration work as soon as it was safe to do so.
As a result, JPS was able to get service back to most customers even before the storm fully passed.
