Puerto Rico's new governor appoints an energy czar to tackle the island's severe power outages.

Puerto Rico's new governor, Jenniffer González Colón, has appointed Josué Colón as an energy czar to address the island's severe power crisis, following a recent blackout that left 3.2 million people without electricity. Colón, the current executive director of Puerto Rico's Electric Power Authority, will oversee power generation and distribution companies. The move aims to manage persistent outages and secure $18 billion in federal funds for grid improvements, originally allocated post-Hurricane Maria in 2017.
