If yes, it’s time to apply for temporary sup bmit an application to JPS via the MyJPS App or Web Portal. We will carry out a field visit if necessary and advise if you will need Government Electrical Regulator (GER) certification.
IF YOU NEED GER CERTIFICATION:
- Log on to the GER Portal at https://ger.org.jm and choose an electrician from among the list of registered electricians on the Portal.
- After the electrician completes his/her work you will need to choose a private electrical inspector from the list of licensed private electrical inspectors on the GER Portal to carry the inspection of the electrical works. JPS will be able to see the inspection certificate as soon as it is uploaded to the GER Portal.
- Once the certificate is issued you will then visit a JPS office, to apply for temporary supply. You will need to provide JPS with details of the load requirements, for example, the types of speakers that will be used at the event.
- A deposit will be determined based on the required load. This deposit is paid and you will be asked to sign a contract
- JPS will then take up to 5 days to provide the power supply.
It is best to start this process as early as possible to allow for the various wait-times associated with the Government processes and installation of your supply. Our priority is to provide you with safe, legal and adequate power supply for all your events and projects.
