Puerto Rico experienced a complete island-wide blackout just as residents were preparing for the Easter weekend, leaving all 1.4 million Luma Energy customers without electricity. The outage forced businesses to close and hospitals to rely on generators, highlighting ongoing issues with the island's fragile power infrastructure. Officials warned that restoring power could take more than 24 hours. This blackout comes less than five months after a similar island-wide outage on New Year's Eve, raising concerns about the reliability of Puerto Rico's electrical grid. The incident underscores the urgent need for infrastructure improvements as the territory faces repeated power failures.
