After a significant blackout left all of Puerto Rico without power, 99% of customers had electricity restored within two days. This incident, which occurred two days prior, resulted from a series of failures in the power transmission system managed by Luma Energy. Since Hurricane Maria in 2017, the island has faced ongoing electricity issues, and recent incidents have reignited public outcry for better management and infrastructure. Calls for accountability have increased as the system is expected to struggle with peak demand in summer.
Almost all power has been restored in Puerto Rico, two days after a blackout left the entire island without electricity.
Luma Energy reported that 99 percent of the 1.4 million customers regained power after extensive outages that began Wednesday.
Officials warned that Puerto Rico's power system might not meet peak demand over the summer, highlighting ongoing vulnerabilities.
The blackout is a reminder of the years of unreliable electricity service that Puerto Ricans have endured.
