THE Jamaica Public Service (JPS) says customers will see a 10 per cent hike in their electricity bills this month, largely due to higher fuel costs and the depreciation of the Jamaica dollar.
“The high cost of the fuel bought from Petrojam to produce electricity, along with the continued devaluation of the Jamaican dollar, have resulted in an increase of approximately 10 per cent on customers’ March bills, relative to the bills they received in February,” the light and power company said in a release last night.
