The Puerto Rico Public Private Partnership Authority recently announced the appointment of several advisory firms for key projects in the pipeline, namely, the commuter train from Caguas to San Juan, a new women’s correctional facility, a new men’s correctional facility, and the conversion to natural gas of the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority plants.
The Center for a New Economy expressed its support Wednesday of the creation of an independent energy regulatory board to “rigorously oversee” the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority’s operations, to spur an improvement in the grid and a reduction in electricity costs passed on to consumers.
A delegation of Colombian electrical industry executives traveled to Puerto Rico last week looking to establish business relationships with local companies and set the foundation for a possible expansion into the United States via this territory.
