A major power outage has hit Puerto Rico, plunging hundreds of thousands of customers into darkness after a fire erupted at one of the largest power plants in the U.S. territory
Education officials said they would soon announce whether classes at public schools would be cancelled Thursday, frustrating many parents who worried they might not find out if their cellphones died and they were unable to charge them.
“The power grid has suffered a massive island-wide blackout, potentially caused by a circuit breaker failure at the Costa Sur generation plant. We are not clear on the exact cause at this time,” the company said.Puerto Rico's fire department worked late into the night to put out the blaze as frustration and anger over yet another blackout continued to grow.
Luma said it would release additional information once it had more details. When it took over transmission and distribution in June, the governor at the time said the company had pledged to reduce power interruptions by 30% and the length of outages by 40%. That same month, a large fire at a substation in the capital of San Juan left hundreds of thousands without power.
