The Puerto Rico Statistics Institute has requested the island’s inclusion in a monthly survey published by the U.S. Energy Information Administration that will allow more timely access to the evolution of Puerto Rico’s energy system, agency Executive Director Mario Marazzi said.
With the intention of promoting the development of alternative renewable energy sources, Gov. Alejandro García-Padilla signed three executive orders Tuesday that establish an orderly plan that will gradually replace Puerto Rico’s high dependence on fossil fuel energy sources and set the rules for the use of new energy alternatives for the island.
The governments of Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic inked an agreement Thursday establishing a bilateral strategy that should spur projects to benefit both islands in education, agriculture, energy costs and tourism, Secretary of State David Bernier announced.
