800 for JPS Co's Prepaid Power in 2 Months - How @myJPSonline PAYG spreading like Wild Fire among 2000 Guinea Pigs in the Summer of 2015

Jamaica, it seems, is in the grips of a Prepaid Electricity fever.

No fewer than eight hundred  (800) Jamaican have signed up for the JPS CO (Jamaica Public Service Company) Pay As You Go Prepaid Electricity Pilot according to Head of Marketing and Project Manager for Pay-as-you-Go, Tishan Lee a s reported in the article “800 Persons Sign Up For Pre-Paid Electricity” published Wednesday May 13, 2015 by Jerome Reynolds, The Jamaica Gleaner.  



The PAYG Prepaid Electricity Program was launched in April 2015 in Kingston, St. Catherine and St. Andrew as stated in my blog article entitled “JPS Co's Prepaid Power now in Jamaica - How @myJPSonline PAYG means a Digital Meter with smartphone App for 5 KWh Advances”. 

The initial pilot targets some two thousand (2000) customers from April 2015 till December 2015. It's now garnering interest from Jamaican outside of the Guinea-Pig area, with people from other parts of the island wanting to get in on the 35% savings on their electricity bill.


Best of all, if you're not satisfied with the way the service works, you can cancel free of costs within the first twelve (12) months of installing the PAYG Prepaid Service at your home.

Something tells is at this pace, by July 2015, JPS Co would have already surpassed their guinea-pig test target of 2000 customers in their test area.


Expansion outside of the Test area, once approved by the OUR (Office of Utilities Regulation), is therefore expected to be fast, as Word-of-mouth on the level of savings spreads the goodness of PAYG Prepaid Power from JPS Co! Prepaid Power Adoption is becoming a Prepaid Power Storm in the Summer of 2015!
