    With Costa Sur out of service, Puerto Rico would need to rely on its other power plants to operate almost at full capacity in order to meet demand. Ortiz requested temporary generators from the Federal Emergency Management Agency to make up for the need.

    The damaged power plant provided about a quarter of the electricity used by homes and businesses in the island.
