The historic town of San Germán recently chalked up another significant feat by becoming the home of Puerto Rico’s first solar-powered gas station, a Texaco location that invested $269,500 to convert its systems, the Energy Affairs Administration said Friday.
The Puerto Rico Energy Affairs Administration will host the “Green Energy Business Conference” at the University of Puerto Rico Aguadilla campus Apr. 27, the agency announced Thursday.
Municipal buildings, public service centers and some 60 families in the mountain town of Aibonito are investing more than $420,000 to develop “green” energy projects to reduce their energy costs and their dependence on fossil fuels, Puerto Rico Energy Affairs Administration Executive Director Luis Bernal said Thursday.
