Two days after 1.4 million Puerto Ricans were plunged into darkness, several residents took to X to express their frustration over the power outage that affected the entire island.Electricity was restored in the homes of 98.8 percent of customers Friday morning, according to Luma, the utility company which oversees service on the U.S. territory.’Although restoration is nearing completion, some customers may continue to experience temporary outages due to limited generation,’ Luma said. The blackout was first reported Wednesday afternoon when a transmission line failed, shutting down multiple generators across the country.The power outage, which left more than 400,000 customers without water, is the third since December 31, 2024.One resident questioned Luma’s effectiveness and the Puerto Rican government’s response.”Well, with so many blackouts, hopefully they’ve learned,” Roberto Delgado wrote on X. Which gives me another reason to think the government itself is behind this. Another reason to justify using gas instead of renewable energy, which was actually the plan. The government owes it to Generación and Luma.
