The Education Ministry says it has settled the arrears at several educational institutions with the Jamaica Public Service Company, JPS.
Those arrears had seen the light and power company disconnect the power supply to several institutions last week.
This under its new policy to act against those government ministries, agencies and departments, which had debts outstanding for more than 90 days.
Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Education, Elaine Foster Allen says power should be restored to the affected institutions today.
Approximately 20 schools were reportedly on a JPS shortlist for disconnection, due to unpaid bills.
Mrs. Foster Allen is urging the institutions to cut back on their electricity consumption.
