Puerto Rico Government Turns a Blind Eye to the Oversight of LUMA

The Puerto Rico Energy Bureau established the minimum performance levels the company must achieve to get incentives, but not the penalties, making its oversight difficult. The Public-Private Partnerships Authority now says that LUMA will only be penalized if any investigation concludes that it failed to fulfill its responsibilities.

El gobierno le saca el cuerpo a fiscalizar a LUMA

El Negociado de Energía definió el desempeño mínimo que la empresa debe cumplir para darle incentivos, pero no las penalidades. LUMA solo será sancionada si alguna investigación concluye que incumplió con sus responsabilidades, dice ahora la Autoridad para las Alianzas Público Privadas.

Even though the EPA recognized the risk posed by the consumption of fish from the bay after a  Center for Investigative Journalism’s investigation, neither the municipality nor federal or local agencies have taken measures to prevent recreational fishing and warn  the public about the risks of consuming species from this body of water.
