The government is collaborating with the Jamaica Public Service Company to accelerate this timeline. The utility provider has already enlisted 600 international line workers and seeks to increase that number to 900. Holness indicated that deploying these additional resources could potentially reduce the restoration period by two or three months. Power has currently been restored to 70 percent of customers, with an official target of reaching 75 percent by December. The most severely affected parishes include St. Elizabeth, Westmoreland, Hanover, and St. James. [/QUOTE]
