Puerto Rico's electrical system is under scrutiny over natural gas supply disputes and a cancelled temporary power generation contract, El Nuevo Dia reported in a filing dated Oct. 23.[^1]

The report names two threads running through the same system: a fight over natural gas supply, and the loss of a temporary generation contract. El Nuevo Dia does not state what the temporary contract was for beyond temporary power generation.

The question of who runs the grid sits alongside that scrutiny. The Puerto Rico Financial Oversight and Administration Board stated that no alternative operator for the electrical grid currently exists, elvocero.com reported on Oct. 20.[^2]
