  After major hurricanes, electric production is significantly reduced owing to
not only electric infrastructure destruction, but also the economic crisis
associated with damage to private and public activities. The full restoration
of the electric infrastructure is not always simultaneously performed with the
full restoration of electric production. Here, we describe the electric
production curves for the islands of Saint-Martin, Saint-Barthelemy, and Puerto
Rico in the Caribbean, where two major hurricanes occurred in 2017. After the
major hurricanes, the electric energy production was characterised by a slow
recovery followed by a stable phase during several months, corresponding to
approximately $75\%$ of the initial electric production. A resilience time of
several months (1 month $< t_s <$ 5 months) is necessary to attain the new
electric energy production equilibrium $E_{is}$, which is lower than the
initial electric energy production $E_i$. The reduction in electric energy
consumption per capita is of $20-25\%$. In Saint-Martin, during the
post-hurricane stable phase, the electric production was only approximately
$60\%$ of the initial electric energy production instead of $75\%$. The
reduction of 15 percent in the electric production of Saint-Martin after
Hurricane Irma could be attributed to the migration of approximately 8 000
inhabitants (approximately $23\%$) outside the island. This approach makes it
possible to anticipate the production of electricity during several months
after a major hurricane in the Caribbean islands.
