Most of Puerto Rico hit by New Year's Eve power outage

Updated on: December 31, 2024

 

San Juan, Puerto Rico — A massive power outage hit nearly all of Puerto Rico early Tuesday as the U.S. territory prepared to celebrate New Year's Eve. More than 1.2 million out of 1.47 million clients were without power, according to Luma Energy, a private company that oversees electricity transmission and distribution on the island.

 

LUMA said in a statement that it would likely take between 24 and 48 hours to restore electricity across the island, "conditions permitting."

 

"While the cause of the outage is under investigation, preliminary findings point to a failure in an underground line," the company said.
