Several Jamaican parishes experienced electricity cuts on Tuesday morning, the second significant power disruption reported in just a few days.
Jamaica Public Service Company (JPS), in a statement, said the interruption happened after gas supply to generating units run by South Jamaica Power Company (SJPC) was lost.
The utility said electricity returned for most customers who were affected within half an hour, and that every customer caught in the outage has now had service restored.
Observer Online said it received outage reports from at least eight parishes: Kingston, St Andrew, St Catherine, St James, Clarendon, Manchester, St Mary and St Ann.
The latest disruption follows Friday night’s rare islandwide blackout, which left all of Jamaica without electricity less than a week earlier.
