Operators scramble to restore power amid grid strain AI illustrationhow this picture was madeTwo power generation units, San Juan CT 5 and Aguirre 2, suffered unplanned outages that left Puerto Rico's electrical system at its capacity limit, according to Periódico La Perla.[1]
LUMA Energy reported 79,772 customers without service across Puerto Rico as of 4:45 PM on Oct 27, according to Radio Isla 1320 AM.[2] The utility also said on Tuesday that there was a high risk of temporary interruptions during peak evening consumption.[3] LUMA estimated full restoration near midnight.[4]
Genera PR spokesperson Iván Báez said in a Teleonce interview that Puerto Rico may face additional outages if sufficient generation capacity is not restored.[5] He did not, in the cited fact, tie that warning to the status of either downed unit.
The two warnings, from LUMA and from Genera PR, appear to describe the same stretched system, though no cited fact links them to the state of San Juan CT 5 and Aguirre 2 as of filing.Dos unidades de generación de energía, San Juan CT 5 y Aguirre 2, sufrieron salidas no planificadas que dejaron el sistema eléctrico de Puerto Rico en su límite de capacidad, según el Periódico La Perla.[1]
