Pier 4 generator update (Again-1/21/18)

I first posted about these generators on December 3 http://darkislandpr.blogspot.com/2017/12/what-are-these-generators-for.html

I happened to be in San Juan today but the San Sebastian Festival kept us out of the old city. I drove down my the channel in Isla Grande and the generators are still on Pier 4. No idea whether these are the same ones never sent out, are newly arrived generators, or the ones that were there before, sent out and returned as utility power is restored.

There's a lot of them and 40% or so of PR Residents still without power. Why can't some of these be used to provide power to communities? If nothing else, set them up in the street and let people run extension cords.

It's been 4 months since Maria. Some folks have been without power since Irma, going on 5 months now. Why aren't these generators being put to work?
