Power outages in Puerto Rico, a U.S. territory, have become more prevalent in recent years after Hurricane Maria weakened the island's electrical grid. The territory controversially privatized energy generation in 2023, giving control of power operations to Genera PR.
波多黎各的停电事件在近年来变得更加频繁，原因是玛丽亚飓风削弱了该岛的电网。该地区在2023年颇具争议地将能源生产私有化，将电力运营的控制权交给了Genera PR。
Puerto Rican Governor Pedro Pierluisi voiced displeasure with the companies' handling of the outage in a post on X.
波多黎各州长佩德罗·皮尔卢易斯在X上发帖表达了对公司处理停电事件的不满。
"We are demanding answers and solutions from both LUMA and Genera, who must expedite the restart of the generating units outside the fault area and keep the people duly informed about the measures they are taking to restore service throughout the Island."
“我们要求LUMA和Genera提供答案和解决方案，他们必须加快故障区外发电机组的重启，并及时告知当地居民他们恢复整个岛屿服务的措施。”

Since Tuesday is New Year's Eve, companies may be less exposed to the outage, as operations may have wound down due to the holiday. Still, repeated outages may prove harmful to Puerto Rico's economy.
由于周二是新年除夕，公司可能会因为假期而减少停电的影响，因为运营可能已经逐渐减少。不过，频繁的停电可能会对波多黎各的经济造成伤害。
