Asafa Powell beaten by JPSCo |
The first report I got this year was a video posted by Asafa Powell about his light bill being JAD70,000 for one month. Asafa Powell should understand that posting this video alone, will not solve the problem. Asafa could be a great help by being a part of the consumer movement. I would love him to support Bark Di Trute. With that support, we could help him and other Jamaicans to deal with their JPSCo challenges.
I would ask Asafa the following questions:
- Do you have the JPSCo application on your phone?
- Have you been monitoring your electricity usage using your phone?
- If you will be away for an extended period, did you ask for your services to be temporarily suspended?
- Have you requested that your meter be checked to see if it is in good working condition?
- Is it possible that illegal connections were made to your service while you were away?
- Have you made a formal written report to the JPS? (I would like to see a copy of the report.)
- When last did you have a certified and licenced electrician check on your wirings to ensure no electricity leakage?
- Was your current and previous bills estimated bills?
Nothing is wrong with making a challenge with an entity public. However, you should make a formal written report. Remember, there are many complaints about the Automatic Banking Machines, and few reports are made. The banks have concluded that all is fine with the ABMs!
Yup, there are many issues to be addressed, I often explain that three months of estimated bills can result in the fourth month being exorbitant even if nobody was there that month.
ReplyDeleteOmg are u serious that is very crazy
ReplyDeleteMore and more Jamaicans are resorting to solar power. I guess JPS has to find some way to keep themselves in business.

ReplyDeleteMy bill was $50,300 in September of 2023. I was ill so I did get a chance to challenge JPS
ReplyDeleteI spoke to a representative for Asafa Powell Yesterday. I have offered to assist in dealing with the matter. Hoping to get a response soon.
ReplyDeleteI have still not heard from Asafa Powell or his representative.
ReplyDeleteStill no word from Asafa Powell's representative. This is unusual!
ReplyDeleteFrom all indications it was not a JPSCo issue. Asafa if this is so, you ought to apologise to the JPSCo. You are a well known person and the world will take your statement seriously. You nor your spokesperson have not responded to my messages and you have become silent!!!
