Line Extensions

In instances where JPS is required to extend or build a line, we will conduct a site visit to determine the extent of required construction. Then, we will provide a quotation along with a Project Proposal Document (PPD) indicating the cost and project timelines for the client to approve. We may require a contribution towards the construction cost. 

Subdivisions, Townhouses and Apartment Complexes

In the case of applications relating to subdivisions, townhouses and apartment complexes, the developer will also need to present a previously checked site plan, proof of ownership or authority to erect distribution infrastructure such as a copy of the title, power of attorney and lease contract. We will also require a surveyor’s report/declaration, ( is this a surveyor’s id report) approval from the Parish Council and an  electronic copy of the electrical distribution design in ACAD 2000 format.

All applicants should consult JPS’ Standard Terms and Conditions document, for important information pertaining to restrictions in the utilization of the electricity supplies offered. Additionally, we recommend that you consult JPS’ Rate Schedule Sheet, which gives specific information on JPS’ myBusiness tariffs (Rate 20, Rate 40 and Rate 50)
