5 FAQs about [Puerto Rico microgrid solution]

Will $1 billion be used to build microgrids in Puerto Rico?

The US Department of Energy seeks stakeholder input on how to fast-track the distribution of $1 billion to build microgrids and other energy resilience projects in Puerto Rico. The case for microgrids in Puerto Rico became clear five years ago when Hurricane Maria shut down its entire grid and parts of the island had no power for 11 months.

What is the Las Piedras microgrid?

The Las Piedras microgrid will be the second Enel X project at an Eaton manufacturing site on the island, after the microgrid system at the Eaton Arecibo site. Enel X and Eaton won a Top Project of the Year Award in the elite Environment + Energy Leader Awards program for the Arecibo microgrid.

Will Puerto Rico build a hospital center microgrid?

Meanwhile, Puerto Rico’s Department of Housing has issued a request for proposals for design, construction, operations and maintenance of a hospital center microgrid. Bids are due May 26 for what is expected to be the island’s first hospital microgrid ( CDBG-DR-RFP-2023-01 .)

Will $1 billion help improve energy resilience in Puerto Rico?

Now the US Department of Energy plans to change that with the distribution of $1 billion to improve energy resilience in Puerto Rico. Funds are slated to go to microgrids, solar, energy storage and other smart grid technologies.

How much does Puerto Rican electricity cost?

In addition to dealing with an unreliable grid, Puerto Ricans face “an extraordinary energy burden,” paying 26.70 cents/kWh for electricity, nearly double the US average of 15.60 cents/kWh, she said. “This is in an archipelago where 40.5% of the population is low income,” Baker said.
