SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico - A power failure left more than 337,000 clients in the dark across Puerto Rico late Wednesday, enraging many who were recovering from a massive outage that hit the U.S. territory just days ago.



Luma Energy, a private company that took over the island's power transmission and distribution system on June 1, said three units were knocked offline for reasons not immediately known. At first, the company said about 190,000 clients had been affected, but it later tweeted that power had been restored to more than 252,700 clients, leaving more 84,000 still without electricity.
