Joanna + 68 JT February 12, 2018 An explosion at a power station in Puerto Rico left the northern part of the island and portions of San Juan without power Sunday night. Puerto Rico's Electric Power Authority (PREPA) said on Twitter that 400 megawatts of power generation had been lost. The fire was caused by a mechanical failure Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joanna + 68 JT February 12, 2018 Just last month the island's government announced plans to sell its public energy company’s assets in a bid to modernize their power supply system and recoup its economic losses. More than 30 percent of customers are still without electricity more than four months after the hurricane Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnAtronis + 78 JA February 12, 2018 I am afraid this issue is political. Infrastructure averages roughly 45 years old, compared with 18 years on the U.S. mainland. Also, company has a $9 billion debt load, filed for bankruptcy last year and faces longstanding accusations of mismanagement and corruption. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With all the utilities being owned by the government, utility and electrical failures are a fact of life in Puerto Rico. Has been that way since electric distribution began on the island.
