Puerto Rico suffers nearly island-wide power outage on New Year's Eve
Briefly

Puerto Rico's governor, Pedro Pierluisi, expressed the urgency of restoring electricity following the New Year's Eve blackout, citing a critical power grid failure and promising swift action by LUMA.
The private energy company LUMA reported that a fault on an underground line was initially believed to be the cause of the widespread blackout affecting nearly 1.27 million households.
According to LUMA, the restoration process has commenced for some customers, though full restoration might take between 24 and 48 hours, depending on conditions.
Bad Bunny's song 'El Apagon' reflects the ongoing frustrations of Puerto Ricans with their unreliable energy grid and their desire for accountability from LUMA.
