- Lawmakers question Luma Energy’s ability to improve Puerto Rico’s fragile power grid (NBC News, 10/5/2022)
- In the aftermath of Hurricane Fiona, which caused an island-wide blackout in Puerto Rico, lawmakers and residents have expressed concerns about Luma Energy’s ability to restore power to the more than 88,000 customers still without electricity. During a contentious legislative hearing, Luma Energy President Wayne Stensby defended the company’s efforts, stating that 95% of customers have had their power restored, but local representatives questioned why entire neighborhoods remain in the dark. Protests have erupted across the island, with mayors and residents demanding action from Luma Energy. The company has been criticized for not providing detailed information on power restoration by municipality and for its coordination and communication with other agencies.
