Puerto Rico’s governor on Monday urged people to moderate their energy consumption as she warned that the island has no additional generation to fall back on days after a massive blackout hit the U.S. territory.
Gov. Jenniffer González said officials are waiting for an explanation from Luma Energy, a private company that oversees transmission and distribution of power in Puerto Rico, about what caused the island-wide outage on April 16. It affected 1.4 million customers and left more than 400,000 others without water.
