A private company that took over power transmission and distribution in Puerto Rico this month has struggled with widespread outages and growing anger.

The Associated Pressthis month has struggled with widespread outages and growing anger as it scrambled to control a fire that left hundreds of thousands of clients in the dark.

Many in Puerto Rico had hoped for a quick improvement in service, but clients complain it has gotten even worse in Luma’s first few days of operations – with problems complicated by heavy rains this week followed by the explosion.
