Thousands to lose power today

The Jamaica Public Service Company (JPS) is advising customers across the island that there will be disruptions in their electricity supply throughout today.



The JPS said it is experiencing generating challenges, as two of its major units are not working and it is also experiencing a thin reserve margin.



The company said two other units operated by its Independent Power Producers are also down.



As a result of those challenges, the company said it will have to carry out load shedding which will result in disruptions.



However, the JPS said it is working to fix the problem as soon as possible.
