JPS announces 20 per cent discount for residential customers hit by Hurricane Beryl

So, nothing for those in the middle. – @DiegoThomas_

I am not impressed. – @CasioJ75757

So the customers who use over 150kWh don’t deserve a discount? Is that what you’re saying @myJPSonline. – @donmackia

In my case, this discount must ago be 20 per cent of $0 because it doesn’t seem like @myJPSonline hasany plans to continue working in my area and restore my light. Utter madness. It’s day 20 now. Patience running out. – @tineykaywhite

I have a house that’s locked up. Don’t use any electricity. But I get a bill for $600 every month for customer charges. What them going to discount? – @ja_cynic

My God will always make a way for me enuh. – @jaevionn

Not bad at all. – @HeatherPinnock

150? KMT. – @TheMorrisonView

So di entire country never hit by it? Or some part never get rain? – @nicklue_skvnklifestyle

So wait deh … When Beryl did come … it did say “excuse me Dan Dan me nah rain or blow pan u house …. But what is not dis! … Me wud a tek a 20 per cent off me nah go lie. – @life.of.a.king

So the whole country never got hit? JPS just try spread that 20 per cent to everyone and dun the heap a talking. – @crayfishwendaze_n_satdaze

Please make this make sense. A sumn new every day. – @the_kelly_jones

The entire country got hit, JPS! – @blackbarbie_shantel

So how u gonna know the difference with who hit and who didn’t? – @dfavourite1

So what will be done for commercial customers, they are also affected especially small business owners. – @nads2123

How ironic my house uses the highest number of kWh it has ever used. – @jason.d.realest

Use less? We use less and bill still high! Listen, JPS .. Ya’ll just need to give this month free and done. You have to face it, lack of “maintenance outage” didn’t fix or do nothing. Right now, I have a pole that is leaning and you close the ticket. – @relm_ja

Only 20 per cent? There should be no charge for the period that no electricity was provided! Corporate greed! – @albradbury_86
