The Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority recently announced a request for proposal seeking providers of power solutions for the electrical system of the island municipalities of Vieques and Culebra.
The Puerto Rico Manufacturers Association sent a letter to the new executive director of the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority, Walter Higgins, stressing the need for “environmentally friendly and cost effective electric service.”
The Coalition for Energy Cooperation in Puerto Rico, which promotes the cooperative model as an alternative to transform the power system, asked the Senate to stop the fast-tracked process of privatizing the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority's assets and convene an independent panel of experts to identify the public and private sectors' needs.
