The power company posted a tweet expressing annoyance over people cursing at its workers, saying such behaviour wasn’t justified. Nearly 370,000 of the 1.5 million homes and businesses served by the power utility had power back by late Thursday. SAN JUAN, PUERTO RICO—Most Puerto Ricans faced another night of darkness Thursday as crews slowly restored electricity a day after a fire at a power plant caused the aging utility grid to fail and blacked out the entire island of 3.5 million people. Most Puerto Ricans don’t have generators, and the many still without power faced another night in darkness with no air conditioning in the tropical heat. It was not yet clear how much damage the fire caused or where the power company would obtain the money to repair or buy new equipment.
