THREAD: Nelly Gracia, her husband, and her son Eddie have power back on tonight thanks to the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority crew which repaired the problem and restored electricity for Nelly and her neighbors, in San Juan, around 6:20pm local time. 
With the lights back on, Eddie can now go back to receiving dialysis at home, 5 hours a day, 6 days a week. As of tonight. on the island of Puerto Rico 11,618 customers are still without power, and many of them have been without it for more than a week.
PREPA tells me only 35% of the workforce showed up for work today. LUMA Energy takes over operations of PREPA at midnight on June 2nd. Many workers have refused to show up to work in protest.
Other workers have said they showed up but were not allowed access to their equipment or vehicles to actually do the work. I asked Luma, is it true that Luma is preventing people from working? The Luma spokesperson responded by saying: “No.”
She went on to write:
“Luma will start operating the transmission and distribution system on June 1 and not a moment sooner.” (END)
“Luma will start operating the transmission and distribution system on June 1 and not a moment sooner.” (END)
