EcoEléctrica 1 goes offline at 11:23 a.m. and worsens the generation deficit

On July 22, 2026, NotiCel reports that EcoEléctrica unit number 1 went out of service at 11:23 a.m., according to Energy czar Josué Colón Ortiz. EcoEléctrica technical staff, he says, is inspecting the unit to correct the condition and return it as soon as possible. The trip occurs a day after the interruptions from San Juan 6, which had already caused shedding. So far, EcoEléctrica has not reported how long it will remain offline.

Josué Colón Ortiz adds that LUMA Energy staff is handling the situation to restore service as the system stabilizes and generation reserve allows. This note does not have the 254 thousand of the afternoon nor the minus 308 megawatts of reserve that another piece the same day attributes to LUMA. This one covers the morning trip. That one covers the nighttime notice. They are not fused.

On July 29, NotiCel will cover that EcoEléctrica puts a damaged unit into operation, with CT#2 synchronized at 8:10 a.m. That is a later date and another unit. On the 28th, more than 314 thousand customers will lose service after Aguirre and an event at EcoEléctrica. Those are later developments. Here the fact is 11:23 a.m. on the 22nd and the lack of a return deadline.

Costa Sur 5, EcoEléctrica 1, and San Juan 6 are three machines and three notes. The Financial Oversight Board's plan to pause contracting of permanent generation, which El Nuevo Día will date the 23rd, is a fourth thread, of fleet policy, not of a midday trip. They are not mixed.

Josué Colón Ortiz speaks on social media; EcoEléctrica gives no duration; LUMA appears as the operator that restores. The reader who wants that chain has the NotiCel URL at the foot.
