Power outages have become so common in Puerto Rico that many residents have installed solar panels and batteries in their homes and businesses. The ongoing instability of the power grid has also led to protests, with many criticizing LUMA, which took over power transmission and distribution in 2021.

Puerto Rico's hurricane-battered power grid has suffered compounding crises including hurricanes and financial problems.

Crews were reported to be making progress restoring power to Puerto Rico after an island-wide blackout that affected the main international airport, several hospitals, and hotels filled with Easter vacationers.
