Power restored to nearly all customers in Puerto Rico after island-wide blackout, officials say

Power was restored early Friday to nearly all customers in Puerto Rico after an island-wide blackout hit earlier this week, authorities said.

More than 1.45 million customers – or about 98.8% – had electricity less than 48 hours after the outage hit, according to Luma Energy, which oversees the transmission and distribution of power on the island.

"Although restoration is nearing completion, some customers may continue to experience temporary outages due to limited generation," Luma said.
