Genera PR warned ahead of Tuesday's evening peak that demand could outrun supply by about 127 megawatts, and that the transmission and distribution operator could resort to load sheds to hold the grid steady.[^1]

Metro Puerto Rico carried the warning. The 127 MW figure is the shortfall the utility projects for the peak window, and the load sheds appear in the warning as a contingency rather than a decision already taken.

The read here is that the contingency is the part with weight: 127 MW of projected gap is the utility's own number, and the sheds are the stated fallback should the evening's demand actually run short.
