Puerto Rico has plunged into a massive island-wide power outage for the second time in four months, following New Year's Eve's similar incident. LUMA and local power authorities are investigating the cause, while Congressman Ritchie Torres highlights the issue as a critical failure. He emphasizes that reliable access to power should be a basic human right, yet remains elusive for many on the island. The power companies are actively working together to restore service and provide updates via social media.
"At approximately 12:40 p.m., an event was recorded that affected service island-wide. Our staff is in constant communication with the power companies to identify the cause of the event and safely restore service."
"We are reporting that we have experienced a massive island-wide power outage due to the unexpected shutdown of all generating plants, including those of Genera PR and other private generators."
"Access to dependable power - a basic right most Americans take for granted - remains out of reach for millions on the island. This is a national disgrace."
