The island of Puerto Rico is suffering another island-wide power outage, just months after a dayslong blackout on New Year's Eve kept residents in the dark.
Luma Energy said the complete interruption to its service began at about 12:40 p.m. local time on Wednesday.
"While the cause of the interruption is being investigated, preliminary findings indicate an unexpected shutdown at allGgenerating plants," the company said.
Genera Power, a private company tasked with managing and operating some power generation units owned by the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority, said it experienced "a massive power outage across the island."
Puerto Rico's Center of Emergency Management is coordinating with Luma and Genera to address emergency situations, the agency said on social media.
