JAMAICAN utility company hikes bills up to 300%. This video is a full investigation on JPS Bills and the issues related to potentially inaccurate actual readings, which caused JPS Bills skyrocket after Hurricane Beryl. In August 2024, most JPS customers received an electricity bill showing a 30% to 300% increase in price, but what a lot of people don't realize is that the situation might actually be more serious than they think, because the real problem is not the increase in price; it's why it happened. Hence, this video.
Note: JPS stands for "Jamaica Public Service" company. It's a sole provider of electricity in Jamaica.
