JPS advises of estimated bills for this month

The Jamaica Public Service Company (JPS) has advised customers that their bills this month may be estimated and might not reflect their actual electricity usage.

In a circular to customers on Friday, the company said Hurricane Beryl has impacted several areas of operation, including its ability to do actual meter readings.

"As a result, your bill for the period June to July may be estimated- so don't be puzzled if it doesn't seem to reflect your most recent usage," the company said. 

It continued: "But, not to worry, your actual usage will be reflected on your next meter reading. Any over-estimation or under-estimation will therefore be taken into account for your next bill."

JPS explained that estimated bills are calculated using the average of customers' last three actual readings.
