JPS has embarked on a project to upgrade its power distribution network in Harbour View, St. Andrew, as part of an islandwide system improvement programme. The project, which represents an investment of JA$68M, will take place over the next few months, culminating in November.
The project includes the replanting of poles and the replacement of old infrastructure. JPS’ Senior Vice President, Power Delivery, Blaine Jarrett, says that the residents of Harbour View will begin to see tangible improvement in their service once the project is completed. “This project is expected to result in significant reduction in outages and generally more reliable service to residents. Our teams will have better access to the infrastructure, to respond to emergencies and conduct maintenance activities,” he explains.
