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.
Faced with the constant demand by consumers wanting relief in soaring energy costs and the government's efforts to try to meet those expectations, the Association of Renewable Energy Producers went public Monday with a mission to help stabilize and reduce the price of energy in Puerto Rico.
