A judge in Puerto Rico issued an order Wednesday for the arrest of the CEO of LUMA Energy, the company that has operated the island's power grid since June 1. The arrest order for the CEO, Wayne Stensby, triggered renewed calls from a coalition of organizations pushing for the cancellation of Luma's 15-year contract to manage the transmission and distribution system on the island, which has suffered numerous power outages. POLITICO’s Annie Snider explains.
