Power has been restored to 99.7% of LUMA Energy customers in Puerto Rico, the utility said Sunday, after hundreds of thousands had been in the dark since a fire at a power plant Wednesday evening.
"Electric service has been restored to nearly 1.5 million customers as of Sunday morning," LUMA said in a statement on its website. Crews are continuing their work "to stabilize the grid and reduce the future risk of intermittent power outages," the statement said.
The outage began as an island-wide blackout that closed schools and courts for days and caused other interruptions for the US territory's 3.2 million residents.

Bitter gusts are sweeping the frozen Potomac River, driving the wind chill into the teens. On the western front of the United States Capitol, rows of folding chairs are frosted and empty. Snow flurries howl above the iconic dome, but beneath it, the “Apotheosis of Washington” glows against the ceiling of the Rotunda. The grand painting by an Italian immigrant depicts the ascension of the nation’s first president as a matter not merely of politics, but of divine inspiration. One hundred and eighty feet below, Donald Trump is summoning his own spiritual fire to heat the room.
