Jamaica experiences a nationwide power outage on Friday, leaving large parts of the island without electricity. The national energy supplier, Jamaica Public Service Company (JPS), says it is investigating what caused the blackout. Authorities begin an assessment to determine the source of the outage and the steps needed to restore service. Electricity is restored gradually, with power coming back in stages as checks are carried out and supply is reconnected. Both reports describe the event as island-wide and emphasize that the investigation is ongoing rather than attributing the outage to a specific cause at this stage. The restoration process continues while investigations take place, according to the information provided by the utility and news coverage. No specific details about the likely trigger—such as equipment failure, grid disruption, or weather-related impacts—are included in the available accounts.
