Is JPS down in Montego Bay right now?
JPS runs a dense urban distribution network through Montego Bay, Ironshore and Rose Hall. Because the resort corridor carries critical commercial load, faults there usually draw a fast crew response, while the hill districts of Cambridge, Adelphi and Anchovy sit on rural feeders that take longer to patrol and repair.
Second-city outages often start as a single feeder trip rather than an island-wide event, so it is worth checking the parish view before assuming a large blackout. If several parishes are listed as active at once, the cause is more likely to be generation or transmission rather than a local line.
Report a Montego Bay power cut to JPS on 1-888-225-5577 with your account number and nearest landmark, and add it here so other St. James residents can see how far the outage reaches.
