LUMA Energy reported a $54.4 million fuel cost deficit for September 2026 to Puerto Rico energy regulator NEPR, according to Metro Puerto Rico. [1] The figure sits above the $48 million deficit between revenue and expenses that LUMA identified for September in reporting by El Nuevo Día on Oct 17. [2] The two numbers measure the same month. The newer filing is the one to hold. The cost of fuel runs through separate contracts. Novum Energy Trading Inc will supply about 6 million barrels a year of No. 6 fuel oil to four Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority plants under an approved three-year contract valued at up to $2 billion.
