KINGSTON, Jamaica — Jamaica Public Service says electricity has been restored to customers affected by the islandwide power outage that began shortly after 9:00 pm on Friday, June 5.
JPS said the final customers affected by the system-wide outage were re-energised at approximately 6:30 am on Saturday, June 6.
The utility said its Incident Command System remained active while teams monitored the electricity network for stability and continued investigations into the cause of the shutdown.
