Although we sought input from these stakeholders throughout the study, the design, assumptions,
Puerto Rico Grid Resilience and Transition to 100% Renewable Energy Study (PR100 Study): The PR100 Study is a two-year, comprehensive analysis based on extensive stakeholder input of possible pathways for Puerto Rico to achieve its goal of 100% renewable energy by 2050, ensure energy system resilience against extreme weather events, and improve
Puerto Rico''s transition to a clean and renewable energy future by 2050 will necessitate a complete reconfiguration of its electrical grid and service paradigm. The U.S. territory will need to shift from the current
Puerto Rico would also be just as vulnerable to the loss of life associated with such a blackout. Armed with this knowledge, it is negligent to continue to consider fossil fuels as viable options for Puerto Rico moving forward. The island''s energy future must be anchored by renewable and sustainable sources, not fossil fuels.

In Puerto Rico, the U.S. Department of Energy''s (DOE) Office of Energy Justice and Equity (EJE) is proving how our nation''s transition to a cleaner, more resilient energy system can – and must – consider equity and address energy injustice. Puerto Rico can feasibly transition to 100% renewable energy by 2050, but significant system
The project will generate power directly to Puerto Rico''s grid and provide energy storage benefits necessary for Puerto Rico''s goal of achieving 100% clean energy resources by 2050. ECONOMIC IMPACT. This project will support approximately 750 construction jobs and more than 50 full-time jobs once fully operational.
We supported large scale green energy by approving contracts that will provide solar farms. We vigorously fight in court against bondholders to protect Puerto Rico''s renewable goals. PREPA had for years stalled the installation of rooftop solar panels but since the transfer of the grid to a private operator, rooftop solar took off. More than
