Power live: who is out right now, by town

On a typical morning this week about 862 of LUMA’s customers were without service at 6:00 AM, the middle reading of 7 mornings (Nov 2–8), out of about 1.47 million. A typical morning last week was much the same, at 0.03%.

The worst morning was Nov 5: 0.2% out (2,957 customers), led by the San Juan region. The quietest was Nov 2 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.
