Electricity provider Jamaica Public Service (JPS) said it will begin the phased closure of seven of its customer services offices in March. The offices to be closed are located in the parishes of St Catherine (Portmore), Clarendon, St Elizabeth, Westmoreland, St Mary, St Thomas, and Kingston (East Parade). Closure of the seven JPS offices will begin on March 8, after which only the Bill Express sections and the courtesy phones to call the JPS Call Centre will remain. Closures will be complete on April 1. JPS also announced that it will be accelerating service digitisation, as more of its customers are choosing to do transactions online.
