House of Representatives Government Committee Chairman Víctor Parés Otero asked LUMA Energy on Monday to relocate its Monacillo commercial office to the Señorial Plaza Shopping Center, given the private operator’s intention to move the office to another location.

“LUMA Energy has expressed its intention to move its commercial service office from its operations center in Monacillo, Río Piedras, to another location, allegedly because its current location is the company’s main operations center,” noted Parés, the San Juan District 4 lawmaker. “Our suggestion is simple: move it to the Señorial Plaza in Cupey, an ideal space with ample parking, in a central area, recently renovated, and with the necessary requirements to serve the general public.”

According to LUMA data, the office in question receives between 30,000 and 40,000 clients every year. The average number of daily visits exceeds 110 people, making it one of the busiest offices on the island.

In a letter sent on July 2 to LUMA President and CEO Janisse Quiñones, the New Progressive Party legislator highlighted Señorial Plaza’s central location, deeming it “strategic due to its easy access from major transit routes and, above all, its proximity to the Monacillo area and the communities that traditionally receive services at this office.”

“We believe that a location with these characteristics significantly contributes to maintaining accessibility and convenience for thousands of citizens,” Parés said.

LUMA management announced the possible relocation of the Monacillo service office in early 2026.
