A preliminary report submitted to the Office of Utilities Regulation (OUR) by the Jamaica Public Service Company (JPS) into last Friday’s islandwide blackout suggests that it was triggered by similar issues which caused a collapse of the national grid on at least three occasions in the past.
The report, which has been seen by Jamaica Observer, was submitted to the OUR on Tuesday, but so far there has been no public statement from the regulator.
However, Energy Minister Daryl Vaz is livid that the country was left in darkness after the JPS was given instructions in the past to prevent a repeat of the system failure.
