U.S. Energy Secretary Highlights Need for Enhanced Power Generation in Puerto Rico Amid Ongoing Outages

Credited from: APNEWS

  • U.S. Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm has warned that Puerto Rico requires increased power generation capacity.
  • The island faced 232 outages since Hurricane Fiona struck in September 2022, exacerbated by inadequate generation.
  • Granholm stated that only about 50% of installed generation capacity is operational, despite significant federal investments in solar projects.
  • Newly sworn governor Jenniffer González criticized Granholm's visit, demanding action on the underlying issues rather than just photo opportunities.
  • As Puerto Rico aims to transition to renewable energy, 93% of its current energy is still derived from fossil fuels.
