Private power company countersues Puerto Rico’s government as legal woes deepen

Luma Energy, a private power company in Puerto Rico, countersued the U.S. territory’s government, alleging bad faith and intentional malice. The legal battle follows the government's lawsuit to cancel Luma's contract over unmet grid improvement promises, with Luma claiming it would be owed billions if terminated. Puerto Rico's power authority remains in bankruptcy amid chronic outages and infrastructure decay.
