#Update: I am confirming receipt of a preliminary report regarding the All-Island outage experienced on Friday June 5th, 2026.
Ministry's Summary Findings Thus Far Based on the Report:
The system behaviour strongly suggests a failure or delayed operation of the primary protection scheme at Hunts Bay and the Rockfort lines resulting in:
* Extended fault duration,
* Escalation of the disturbance, and
* Wider propagation of system instability
I must state categorically that the findings suggest a situation that is completely untenable and unacceptable. The reports suggest the same old findings as in previous instances regarding system failures. In 2026, with improved technologies and greater experience, we should not be exposed or be vulnerable to the challenges we experienced a in 2006, approximately 20 years ago.
I am meeting with my team at the ministry and will provide a more comprehensive report in a statement to the parliament later this week. I have also received reports of additional outages since the restoration on Saturday morning across the island. The Ministry remains in constant dialogue with the utility provider and will continue to provide updates to the public as they become available. We await the findings from the Office of Utilities Regulator (OUR).
The Jamaican people are sick and tired of this and quite frankly SO AM I!
