In the wake of the controversy swirling around the $300 million contract the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority awarded Whitefish Energy to rebuild the network post-Hurricane María, the utility has been assigned a “Chief Transformation Officer” to oversee the work.
Over the next several months, the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority (PREPA), United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), the Department of Energy, and private industry will unite to restore emergency power to Puerto Rico’s electric grid, which was heavily damaged by hurricanes Irma and María, the Federal Emergency Management Agency said.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), in coordination with the Huntsville Engineering and Support Center, has awarded a $240 million contract to Texas-based Fluor Corporation for the repair of the power grid in Puerto Rico, the agency announced.
