Renewable energy site developers are hopeful that the process of establishing wind and solar farms in Puerto Rico will get easier as more projects in the pipeline are approved.
The University of Puerto Rico’s Utuado campus stands to shave $6,500 off its annual electricity bill as a result of the solar panels recently installed atop its library building.
The central mountain town of Utuado will become home to the island’s first affordable, eco-friendly elderly home, which is slated to begin construction in January 2013, at a cost of $5.2 million, representatives of the nonprofit developer in charge of the project, Pathstone CDC de Puerto Rico, announced this week.
