JPS assessing load shedding issues

01:25 Jun 29 2012 Jamaica

Description
The Jamaica Public Service Company Limited (JPS) says it’s assessing the extent of the shortfall in generating capacity and how long customers will continue to experience disruptions in their power supply.

This morning, the JPS advised that it would be conducting load shedding across the island as the company is experiencing challenges in generating electricity.

The JPS says this is because two of its major units are not working and it’s also experiencing a thin reserve margin.
