Our Mission: Bringing Transparency to Puerto Rico's Power Outages
For decades, Puerto Rico has faced ongoing challenges with its electrical grid—unpredictable outages, slow restoration times, and a lack of transparency about the causes and scope of blackouts. The reliability of power is not just a matter of convenience; it is a matter of public health, safety, and economic stability. Families depend on electricity to refrigerate food and medicine, small businesses rely on it to stay afloat, and students and professionals need it to connect with the world. Yet too often, communities are left in the dark—both literally and figuratively—without timely or accurate information about when service will be restored. That's where our website comes in. Our mission is simple but powerful: to provide real-time, accessible, and trustworthy information about power outages across Puerto Rico. By bringing clarity to the current state of the grid, we aim to empower residents, communities, and organizations to make informed decisions during outages.

How Our Platform Helps
Real-Time Outage Tracking Our system collects and displays live information about outages across Puerto Rico. Users can see where blackouts are happening, how many customers are affected, and which areas are being restored in real time.
Community-Driven Reporting
In addition to official outage data, our platform integrates community reports. Residents can submit outage information directly, which helps create a more accurate and localized picture of what’s happening.
Transparency & Accountability
By maintaining a record of outage patterns over time, we enable journalists, researchers, and community leaders to analyze trends in grid reliability. This transparency fosters accountability for energy providers and policymakers.
Accessibility for All
We believe that vital information should be available to everyone, regardless of language, device, or internet speed. Our site is designed to be lightweight, mobile-friendly, and bilingual (English and Spanish), so it can reach the broadest possible audience.
Preparedness & Resilience
Electricity is a cornerstone of modern life, and everyone deserves access to clear, real-time information about it. Puerto Rico's future depends on a stronger, more reliable grid—and until that vision becomes a reality, our mission is to keep the island informed, empowered, and prepared.
A Vision for the Future
While our current focus is real-time outage information, our long-term vision goes beyond reporting. We aim to: Support renewable energy adoption by highlighting the areas most affected by outages and showing how decentralized solutions like solar microgrids can provide stability. Partner with local organizations to deliver outage updates through multiple channels, including SMS and radio, for residents with limited internet access. Provide educational resources on energy efficiency, preparedness, and Puerto Rico's transition to renewable energy. Advocate for policy changes that prioritize grid resilience and sustainability. Our commitment is to keep the island informed, empowered, and prepared for the future of energy.
