Power live: 325 customers out island-wide at 7:25 AM

On a typical morning this week about 368 of LUMA’s customers were without service at 6:00 AM, the middle reading of 7 mornings (Oct 26 – Nov 1), out of about 1.47 million. A typical morning last week was much the same, at 0.05%.

The worst morning was Oct 27: 0.29% out (4,240 customers), led by the Mayagüez region. The quietest was Oct 28 at 0.02%.

None of the customers out were on LUMA’s planned jobs on any of the seven mornings, so these were faults rather than maintenance.
