Summary
Puerto Rico's governor condemned LUMA Energy following another significant blackout, the fourth major power outage in less than a week. The criticism came hours after a government presentation at Central Aguirre announcing a billion-dollar investment aimed at increasing energy production and strengthening the island's fragile electrical grid.
