JPS is advising residents that while the vast majority of its customer base will be energized come Saturday night July 13 – a number of smaller areas will remain out of service.
Presently, roughly 632,000 of its 692,000 customers now have electricity, as the Company leans into some of the last stages of restoration for most of the island. The Company is also reporting that all hospitals and major health care facilities are energized.
Blaine Jarret, JPS’ senior vice president of energy delivery, has explained that JPS will continue to give attention to these pockets until they are fully restored. The Company is also redeploying resources where possible, to aggressively push ahead to these areas. The parish of St. Elizabeth remains on a different timeline, with full restoration expected in roughly a month.
