A widespread power outage hit Puerto Rico, leaving more than 340,000 customers without electricity after two of the U.S. territory's power plants shut down.
San Juan, Puerto Rico — A widespread power outage hit Puerto Rico Wednesday night, leaving more than 340,000 customers without electricity after two of the U.S. territory's power plants shut down. The capital of San Juan was left without electricity as well as neighboring municipalities including Bayamón, Caguas and Carolina.
'While it is true that we have old plants and transmission lines in terrible condition, the people continue to suffer the consequences of the lack of sense of urgency that private operators are demonstrating.' Both Luma and Genera PR were selected as private operators under Pierluisi's administration. The outage is the most recent in a string of blackouts to hit Puerto Rico, which is still trying to rebuild the grid after Hurricane Maria razed it in 2017 as a Category 4 storm.
