Cidra Mayor Delvis Pagán Clavijo has asked the Puerto Rico Energy Bureau to halt any move by LUMA Energy to disconnect municipal facilities while regulators determine whether the private operator followed procedure over a $319,216.88 balance dispute.[^1]

Pagán Clavijo said the request is meant to keep the private operator from cutting service to municipal facilities until the Energy Bureau finishes its review of how LUMA Energy handled the disputed balance.

The read here is that the fight turns on procedure, not on the number: the mayor is not contesting the $319,216.88 figure in the facts at hand, but whether LUMA Energy followed the regulatory steps before threatening a cut. What the Energy Bureau decides on that question is the next thing to watch.
