Head of the Jamaica Public Service (JPS) Kelly Tomblin said the power company can no longer guarantee that customers will see as much as 40 per cent reduction in their electricity bills when it begins using liquefied natural gas (LNG) to operate its planned 360-megawatt power plant.
In February this year, JPS’s then Chief Financial Officer Dan Theoc had said that the company expected the country’s first 360-megawatt project to deliver savings of 30-40 per cent on electricity bills based on the plant operating on cheaper LNG while using diesel fuel as a backup.
