Massive outage hits Puerto Rico, leaving over a million in the dark

LUMA Energy reported that restoring power to Puerto Rico after the massive outage could take between 24 and 48 hours, depending on conditions.

Preliminary findings indicate the outage originated from a fault on an underground power line, as LUMA Energy investigates the full cause.

Carlos Méndez criticized LUMA and Genera PR, emphasizing that the residents deserve clear answers, stating that there should be 'no more excuses' for persistent power issues.

Since Hurricane Maria in 2017, Puerto Rico has struggled with its power infrastructure, leading to a complex situation following its privatization and ongoing criticisms from government officials.
