Puerto Rico, which faced a major blackout on New Year's Eve, had power restored to 98% of the 1.47 million utility customers' electricity on Wednesday afternoon, as per Luma Energy, the company responsible for managing power transmission and distribution in the U.S. territory.
Homes, hospitals, water plants, and sewage facilities had their lights back on following the outage, highlighting the ongoing issues with the island's electricity system. The company warned that some customers might experience temporary outages in the next few days, adding that fully restoring power across the island could take up to two days.
