Power Outages Hit More Than 200,000 LUMA Customers in Santurce

Residents in Santurce are experiencing widespread power outages as LUMA Energy continues to struggle with system issues. According to recent reports, over 200,000 customers are currently without electricity. These outages have been hitting the area hard, particularly in the evenings.

The impact is not just felt by new arrivals; long-time Santurce residents are no stranger to these challenges. The outages are most severe during the fall and winter months, typically from October to March, when temperatures drop and usage increases. During these times, it's essential for residents to stay informed and prepare for potential blackouts.

For expats and digital nomads, the outages can be particularly disruptive. With work often relying on consistent power, it's crucial to have a backup plan. A portable generator or a battery bank can ensure that essential devices and workstations remain operational. Additionally, it's wise to keep a stock of non-perishable food and water, as well as a flashlight or lantern, to handle any unexpected power outages.
