It's worse than expected - JPS - Lead Stories - Jamaica Gleaner - Sunday | October 28, 2012: "The Jamaica Public Service Company (JPS) late yesterday reported that it has restored power to more than 80 per cent of its customers.

However, the company admitted that the damage to its infrastructure is greater than revealed by the initial assessments.

"It is still too early to give a full report on the extent of the damage to the power infrastructure, but it is clear that it is worse than we originally thought," said JPS president and CEO, Kelly Tomblin.

"When we first did our assessments, we did not have access to some of the more remote areas. We are still having significant challenges due to landslides and uprooted vegetation. However, now that we are getting access to more areas, we are finding some pretty difficult situations," added Tomblin.

She said the company still has hundreds of poles and several kilometres of damaged lines that need to be addressed before it can bring all its customers back on to the grid."
