They execute a plan to avoid blackouts in Puerto Rico during Bad Bunny's concerts

San Juan.- The company LUMA Energy announced this Thursday that it developed a preventive work plan to reinforce the fragile electrical system of Puerto Rico and increase the reliability of the service during the series of Bad Bunny concerts, which begin tomorrow.

The island suffers from numerous problems in its electrical grid and a shortage of generation, so power outages are frequent, especially during these months when demand increases due to high temperatures. LUMA Energy, in charge of electricity transmission, explained in a statement that it has collaborated with state and municipal agencies in order to support the necessary electrical infrastructure. "Our commitment is clear: to proactively address the failures of a fragile system, respond with agility in case of service interruptions, and collaborate with all the essential components for the success of large-scale events such as the Bad Bunny residency," said Melissa Pueyo, Key Accounts Director of LUMA.

Bad Bunny has sold more than 400,000 tickets for his 30 concerts at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico, an unprecedented residency on the island titled 'No Me Quiero Ir De Aquí'.

A singer's musical residency is a series of concerts that the artist offers in the same venue over a specific period. "We know that this series of events represents a significant injection into the local economy, so we have participated in meetings with the administrators of the Coliseo de Puerto Rico and the Convention District, as well as hotels and other companies in the area to support their success," Pueyo detailed. In addition to coordinating with state and municipal agencies to facilitate the movement of brigades to critical areas in case of breakdowns, LUMA personnel completed a proactive inspection of substations serving the areas of San Juan near the Coliseo de Puerto Rico and with a presence of hotels.

He also carried out hot spot repair to prevent prolonged outages and vegetation removal near distribution lines in the San Juan area. "Since the month of June, LUMA activated a team and established an action plan to respond in a coordinated and immediate manner to any unexpected situation during the event," Pueyo highlighted. According to a study commissioned by the Municipality of San Juan, the residence will have an economic impact on the island of 377 million dollars and will create approximately 3,642 direct, indirect, and induced jobs.
