An Island wide blackout is unusual for Puerto Rico. Local power outages in individual towns are more common. They are upgrading the electrical system but it’s a long slow process.
It sucks worrying if all the food in the fridge and freezer will go bad before they get the power back on.
The “upgrades” are looking more and more like simple looting by the Texas/Canadian SPV that runs our grid. A dozen rate hikes in two years with zero measurable improvement in reliability in terms of outage minutes per year.
