Natural gas inventories grew quickly in late April through early June, with seven consecutive weeks of net injections to inventories exceeding 100 Bcf each for the first time since 2014.  <\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.eia.gov\/todayinenergy\/detail.php?id=65944\" class=\"link-button\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Read More \u203a<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIn-brief analysis\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAug 13, 2025<\/p>\n<p data-type=\"inbrief\">&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.eia.gov\/todayinenergy\/images\/2025.08.13\/main.svg\" alt=\"Puerto Rico average duration of annual electricity interruptions\"\/> &#13;<br \/>\n&#13;\n<\/p>\n<p>Even without accounting for electricity interruptions resulting from major events such as hurricanes, customers in Puerto Rico experienced on average 27 hours of power grid interruptions per year between 2021 and 2024.
