Puerto Rico is experiencing a widespread power outage after the power grid collapsed, affecting nearly the entire island.
Nearly 1.3 million people are without power.
Luma Energy, the private energy company primarily supplying power to the island, reported as of 10.45am ET that only 13.5% of the US territory’s customers had power. In a statement, the company estimated it would take between 24 and 48 hours to restore power.
Puerto Rico’s governor, Pedro Pierluisi, posted on X that his office was in contact with Luma and “demanding answers and solutions” from the company. Luma said in a statement it believed “a failure in an underground line” was responsible for the outage.
