Over 25,000 Puerto Ricans were left in the dark as they celebrated Christmas Eve. Canadian-American LUMA Energy, the private power company responsible for power distribution in the island, claimed the blackouts were due to "bad weather."
The LUMA portal, which has 1.5 million subscribers, counted a total of 25,880 customers without service throughout the island at 10:20 pm local time on December 24, 2025, according to Dominican Republic-based newspaper Del Último Minuto.
