The Association of Restaurants of Puerto Rico (ASORE) has warned that an upcoming electricity tariff increase will hurt the island's restaurant industry.[^1]

The association raised the concern publicly, tying the higher power rate directly to the businesses that feed people across Puerto Rico, from the plaza cafe to the roadside kitchen.

The facts in hand name the warning but not the size of the increase or when it takes effect. Those are the numbers a restaurant owner will want, and they are the ones to press ASORE and the utility for next.
