LUMA Energy, Genera PR and AEE must explain recent gas supply interruptions in San Juan and diesel generation operations during the 2025-09-28 hearing.[^1]

Former Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority director Justo Gonzalez stated that an electricity rate increase is likely due to global fuel volatility from international conflicts, Metro Puerto Rico reports.[^2]

San Juan Mayor Miguel Romero Lugo announced a pilot project to repair 600 street lights in eight communities around caño Martín Peña, with plans to expand to about 40 communities by December. El Nuevo Día reports the mayor said the municipality lacks support from LUMA Energy for the work.[^3] Romero Lugo also stated recent improvements in the capital's potable water service are due to a court-ordered committee including municipal and Puerto Rico Aqueduct and Sewer Authority staff.[^4]

On 7 January 2025 Román Electric Contractors filed lawsuit AG2025CV00012 against the Municipality of Aguada, claiming exemption from construction fees for work performed for the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority. Two local outlets have reported the filing.[^5][^6]
