What Bad Bunny’s Halftime Set Revealed About Puerto Rico’s Power Grid

Sunday’s Super Bowl halftime show had an unexpected Easter egg for energy folks. Bad Bunny put line workers up on power poles in the set, a visual nod to Puerto Rico’s grid reliability problem after Hurricane Maria in 2017 and the years of slow, uneven recovery since.

What makes it land is that the “fix” story is still messy for customers. Puerto Rico continues to face frequent, prolonged blackouts as upgrades to aging infrastructure move slowly, and the rooftop solar shift has come with its own rollout challenges. Electricity costs also remain among the highest in the U.S., with recent filings projecting average rates around $0.24/kWh, versus about $0.17/kWh nationally.

So if you watched the halftime show and thought, “why are there linemen on poles in a halftime show,” that’s the point. The grid has become part of daily life and culture on the island, not just background infrastructure.
