This clearly opens the doors for competition in the supply of power to the Jamaican public.The High Court has ruled that the Jamaica Public Service exclusive all-island licence is not completely valid.
The court ruled that the aspect of the licence, which bars the Government from considering other applicants who want to supply electricity, is not valid.
The ruling has opened the way for other players in the energy industry to make an application to supply electricity.

But it will allow more companies to supply alternate energy - open up the market and maybe - just maybe - we can sell back power to the JPS grid.
We never know too much that we can't learn. Unfortunately most Jamaicans are about "hurry come up" and swatting than actually learning....

stop being a pessimist, this ruling open the door for us to challenge the status quo of governments. just as how it was suggested that the cellular companys share towers is the same way the poles can be shared.Originally Posted by frazbox
