Puerto Rico's New Year's Blackout

A massive power failure plunged almost all of Puerto Rico into darkness on New Year's Eve, impacting millions of people.

Luma Energy, the island's power company, stated that a faulty underground cable caused this island-wide blackout.

Repair work is expected to take up to 48 hours, with power being restored gradually to critical services and communities.

This incident underscores the ongoing fragility of Puerto Rico's power grid and raises concerns about its ability to provide reliable electricity.
