Is JPS down in May Pen right now?
May Pen is the JPS switching hub for Clarendon, so town-centre faults are usually identified fast. The rural circuits that run out toward Chapelton, Frankfield and Lionel Town are long and lightly loaded, which makes fault-finding slower and restoration times noticeably longer once you leave the town.
Cane-field burning, tree contact after heavy rain and vehicle strikes on poles along the main road are the causes that appear most often in JPS notices for this parish. Planned interruptions for line maintenance are usually announced a day or two ahead and will show on this page as scheduled work.
No active outage listed but your light off? Check your own breaker first, then confirm with a neighbour. Report it to JPS on 1-888-225-5577 and log it here so the rest of May Pen can see whether the problem is spreading.
