Puerto Ricans are protesting against record-high electricity costs, according to NPR Business.
Billions of dollars have been invested in Puerto Rico's electrical grid in an effort to address ongoing problems, but blackouts continue.
The electrical grid has undergone privatization, yet the issues with power outages remain unresolved.
Protestors highlight that they pay some of the highest electricity prices compared to the 50 states, fueling discontent.
The situation reflects ongoing challenges in stabilizing Puerto Rico's electrical infrastructure despite significant financial and structural changes.
