They had massive physical damage from a powerful hurricane, their grid didn't just fail. Transmission lines and substations had to be repaired.

That is ignoring issues like Whitefish Energy among other things. Very different situation.

edit: yes, we know that nothing anywhere near comparable to hurricane Maria hit them.

Do we know that there's been no grid damage in Argentina? It is the middle of winter.

Most of the country has a very warm winter (yesterday I spoke to my mam and she said it was 16 C).

There's been grid problems since I have memory. Doesn't surprise me that the whole thing eventually went down.

Most of the population and the grid are in temperate weather zones that get little wintry weather.

Not that the PR grid was a an example of reliability before the hurricane. I had to endure hours and sometimes days with no power rather consistently.

Maria wasnt the only hurricane that left us in the dark. George and Hortense were a 2 month ordeal with no power (aside from small gasoline generators) in the town I grew up.

parts, not the whole island. correct me if im wrong

The whole island didn't have power for a few weeks, probably about a month.
