The new Government of Jamaica Electrical Regulator (GER) application, which is now in its second phase of development, goes live to the public on November 1.
The new app, which was initiated under the GER organisational build-out, seeks to develop user interfaces to facilitate online licensing of electrical inspectors, registration of electricians and enrollment of technical electrical assistants.
The app will allow users to solicit the services of an electrician or inspector to conduct work at their premises and generate compliance certificates at the end of the inspection process. Additionally, it will provide administrative features for managing user accounts and generating system reports.
The platform is consistent with the Government’s agenda to transition Jamaica to a digital society. Electricity sector stakeholders participated in a virtual web portal walkthrough of the portal last Friday, September 17.
Project Manager, Natalie Allen told JIS News that a test run of the app, which will be the primary means of conducting business with the GER, is scheduled for next month.
The GER represents an amalgamation of the Government Electrical Inspectorate (GEI) and the Board of Examiners (BOE). Its key objectives include improving the efficiency of electrical work inspections and enhancing professionalism within the industry.
The amalgamated regulatory body seeks to increase transparency and public accessibility to services related to electrical works and inspections by approved professionals.
