Read the White House Fact Sheet. The Financial Oversight and Management Board for Puerto Rico and the U.S. Department of Energy together created the new website Ruta Energética para Puerto Rico to provide information about Puerto Rico’s energy transformation and grid modernization.
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) supports grid recovery and resiliency efforts in Puerto Rico through planning assistance, operational activities, and capacity building for both local public entities and federal agencies, ensuring investment decisions are driven by world-class data, modeling, and analysis.
Upon completion, the Project will deliver clean energy to the grid and is anticipated to power the equivalent of more than 80,000 homes, generating approximately 3% of Puerto Rico’s energy needs.* Located on State Road PR-03 km 150.5, Guayama, PR 00784. Located north and south of State Road PR-03 km 144.7, Guayama, PR 00784.
The facilities will be located in the municipalities of Guayama and Salinas and will help deliver clean, reliable, and affordable power to communities throughout Puerto Rico.
DOE also expanded medical eligibility for this program, and now households with a resident over age 65 or under 4 years of age may also qualify for an installation. Residents of Puerto Rico can visit energy.gov/solarPR or call (833) 822-8628 to check their eligibility and apply.
The global commercial and industrial solar energy storage battery market is experiencing unprecedented growth, with demand increasing by over 400% in the past three years.
