Puerto Rico goes completely dark after another island-wide power outage
The island of Puerto Rico is suffering another island-wide power outage, just months after a dayslong blackout on New Year’s Eve kept residents in the dark.
Luma Energy said the complete interruption to its service began at about 12:40 p.m. local time on Wednesday.
“While the cause of the interruption is being investigated, preliminary findings indicate an unexpected shutdown at all generating plants,” the company said.
Genera Power, a private company tasked with managing and operating some power generation units owned by the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority, said it experienced “a massive power outage across the island.”
