The Jamaica Public Service Company says it will by Sunday complete restoration of electricity to customers still without service due to Tropical Storm Rafael.
Up to Thursday evening, fewer than 2,000 customers did not have power.
The projection comes as the company concludes its assessment of the damage to the electricity network caused by the heavy rains and strong winds associated with the tropical storm.
JPS President & CEO Hugh Grant says the final phase of the restoration process would be the most time consuming since its crews will have to tackle infrastructure that spans difficult terrain, and isolated cases in affected communities.
Mr. Grant says the JPS is working with the relevant agencies to gain access to communities that have been cut off by landslides.
