The Puerto Rico Energy Public Policy Act of 2019 codified the role of solar and storage in the island's energy system and set a 100% renewable energy target by 2050, with interim targets on the way. Today, Rúa-Jovet said there are about 175,000 households with solar, and at least 160,000 of those also have storage.
Rúa-Jovet said blackouts have become so routine that solar and storage are now a necessity in Puerto Rico and demand is unlikely to be slowed by changes in federal policy — some of which were enacted through the tax code, which has limited impact on the territory.
“That kind of shifted, in people's minds, the thinking on energy and the value of resiliency, and the importance of just basic energy,” Rúa-Jovet said. The Puerto Rico Energy Public Policy Act of 2019 codified the role of solar and storage in the island's energy system and set a 100% renewable energy target by 2050, with interim targets on the way.
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.
