Over the past year, 111 green energy projects have sprouted up islandwide representing a joint investment between the government and the private sector of some $48 million.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced Monday it will hold a public hearing June 25 to give the public a chance to express their concerns about the proposed waste-to-energy plant project slated for Arecibo.
The proposed $500 million waste-to-energy plant that Albany, NY-based Energy Answers is seeking to build in Arecibo got an important endorsement from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency earlier this week, when it approved a key permit needed to move the project forward.
