Towns in central and southern Puerto Rico are facing a prolonged power outage, with tens of thousands left without power due to a collapsed transformer, leading to disruptions in water service and exacerbated by daily excessive heat warnings and the approaching hurricane season. The situation has sparked anger and calls for a state of emergency, especially among the impoverished population lacking means to deal with damaged appliances. The outage has also hindered access to essential services and medication, highlighting the recurring challenges Puerto Rico faces in its energy infrastructure and renewable energy transition.
