Puerto Rico could face a new round of blackouts because of a lack of electricity generation, according to Genera PR, as discussed by political analyst Jay Fonseca on the program Los Datos Son Los Datos. Fonseca questioned why the Senate has not approved a bill that already received the backing of the House of Representatives and that seeks to replace and cancel the agreement with the generating company.
The situation comes as the cost of electricity stands at historically high levels.
