JAMAICA Public Service Company (JPS) and National Water Commission (NWC) continue to report high levels of breaches of the guaranteed standards that are supposed to guide the quality of service that they deliver to customers, according to the Office of Utilities Regulations (OUR).
In 2010, JPS reported 83,000 breaches, which would have cost the company $140 million if they had to fully compensate customers. Only $9 million of that amount was paid.

ENERGY Minister Phillip Paulwell has announced that Opposition Spokesman on Energy Gregory Mair will be named to a National Energy Council that will be set up to preside over a range of developments and concerns relating to energy. Paulwell, who was addressing an energy forum convened by the American Chamber of Commerce of Jamaica (AMCHAM) at the Knutsford Court Hotel on Thursday, described the issue of energy as being too critical for it to be the subject of political squabbles.
