In his analysis, Marxuach pointed out that Luma Energy had about a year to prepare before its takeover,"and its performance so far has been, in the best case, deficient, and in the worst, dismal."'In the best interests of both companies to change their ways' Under the current partnership, the power authority is"required to provide 'dependable generation capacity' in exchange for a monthly payment from LUMA to cover operating and maintenance expenses," the analysis said. The private company also has"absolute control to dispatch generation and manage system load at any given time," according to the report.
"It is in the best interests of both companies to change their ways, for their own benefit and the wellbeing of the Puerto Rican people," the analysis concluded. In it, Marxuach urged the power authority to stop"clinging to its old ways" and called on Luma Energy to"modify its standard playbook to account for an old, unstable, and unreliable electric system."
