Puerto Rico Power Outage Amid Public Outcry Against Private Electric Company

Reported 7 months ago

A major power outage hit Puerto Rico, leaving over 340,000 customers without electricity as two power plants shut down. The outage affected San Juan and neighboring municipalities, with Luma Energy attributing the issue to transmission line problems with Genera PR, the state operator of power generation units. Governor Pedro Pierluisi condemned the outage and demanded answers from the private operators. This blackout is the latest in a series of outages in Puerto Rico, prompting calls for the removal of Luma amid public dissatisfaction.
