Puerto Rico faced a major blackout impacting over 1.4 million customers when all power generation plants suddenly went offline. The cause of this outage remains unclear. Historically, similar blackouts have led to lengthy recovery times, with Puerto Rico's infrastructure often struggling to restore service promptly. While some reports indicated initial restoration for a third of the customers, officials clarified that no actual electricity was available. Energy czar Josue Colon highlighted concerns over insufficient capacity for upcoming peak demand, raising alarms about potential future outages.
We have experienced a massive blackout across the entire island due to all of the power generation plants unexpectedly going offline, Genera PR stated.
Restoring power would probably take at least a day, according to Puerto Rico's energy czar Josue Colon.
Luma spokesman Hugo Sorrentini said it was unlikely any customer had power because all the power plants were offline.
Warnings about potential summer blackouts due to insufficient generating capacity were previously issued by energy czar Josue Colon.
