In a recent meeting of the Comisión de Proyectos Estratégicos y Energía del Senado, representatives from LUMA Energy presented their vision for transforming Puerto Rico's electrical transmission and distribution system. The session, held on August 3, 2021, aimed to clarify LUMA's role and address ongoing concerns regarding the company's operations.
LUMA's spokesperson, José Alberto Pérez Vélez, emphasized the company's commitment to a "people-first" approach and the importance of safety in their operations. He outlined LUMA's mission to create a modern, sustainable, and reliable energy system that aligns with the goals set by the Puerto Rican government. This includes generating economic benefits that exceed operational costs, creating well-paying jobs, and enhancing the overall quality of life for residents.
Despite LUMA's efforts to communicate its objectives, Pérez Vélez acknowledged the prevalence of misinformation surrounding the company's activities. He expressed hope that the discussions would help dispel myths and clarify LUMA's commitment to improving the electrical sector.

Pérez Vélez assured that LUMA's interests are aligned with those of the government and the community, focusing on maintaining low system costs while delivering tangible benefits to customers.
As the meeting progressed, the importance of LUMA's role in the future of Puerto Rico's energy landscape became increasingly clear.

The meeting concluded with a commitment to transparency and collaboration as LUMA moves forward with its plans.
