Puerto Rican lawmakers are demanding accountability from Luma Energy and Genera PR amid ongoing power outages affecting tens of thousands of residents. The outages, caused by a generation deficit and infrastructure issues, have left schools and businesses without electricity. Lawmakers have summoned the companies' presidents for questioning, insisting there are 'no more excuses'. Luma Energy blames Genera PR for the infrastructure problems, while Genera PR claims Luma instructed them to reduce generation.
