LUMA has implemented a preventive work plan over the past two months in the San Juan metropolitan area as part of its support for the electrical infrastructure for Bad Bunny’s concert residency, Key Accounts Director Melissa Pueyo announced Thursday.

“Our commitment is clear: to proactively address the failures of a fragile system and respond quickly in the event of interruptions,” Pueyo said in a written statement.

The completed work included inspections of substations in Condado, Isla Verde, Hato Rey and Santurce, repairs to underground systems and hot spots, and the removal of vegetation near power lines in San Juan.

Since 2024, LUMA has made improvements to transformers, switches, and components at the Hato Rey TC, Llorens Torres, Viaducto, and Villamar substations, according to the company.

Pueyo added that they are also collaborating with the Integrated Transportation Authority to support the restoration of the Urban Train system, which relies on a private substation currently out of service.
