In the midst of ongoing power outages in Puerto Rico, government officials are seeking accountability from two private electric companies. The outages have left tens of thousands of customers, including schools, homes, and businesses, without electricity due to a deficit in generation and maintenance issues.
Lawmakers have called upon the presidents of Luma Energy and Genera PR to address the situation and provide clarity on the causes of the outages. The companies have been engaged in a blame game, with Luma Energy pointing to a lack of electricity generation and deteriorating infrastructure operated by Genera PR, while Genera PR claims that Luma Energy requested a reduction in generation that led to damaged units.
