Updated: [falahcoin_post_modified_date]

As a result of ongoing power outages in the aftermath of Hurricane Beryl, generators, both new and used, are in high demand across southern parishes in Jamaica. Many households are still without electricity, prompting a surge in the need for generators to provide essential power. Calbert Powell, owner of Mercal Electrical in Mandeville, reports a significant increase in the repair and purchase of generators, with a high volume of units coming from various parishes, including Clarendon, St Elizabeth, Manchester, and St Ann. The demand is so intense that even residents in less affected areas like Kingston are selling their generators to meet the growing need. Powell stresses the importance of caution when using generators, especially due to recent cases of carbon monoxide poisoning. He also encourages the adoption of renewable energy solutions as a more sustainable option. Despite preparations for the hurricane, many Jamaicans are taken aback by the prolonged effects and delays in power restoration, leading to a heightened reliance on generators. In light of safety concerns, Powell emphasizes the proper usage and maintenance of generators to avoid potential hazards.
