The Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority's battery energy storage system is a 20,000kW energy storage project located in Puerto Rico. It was announced in 2018 and will be commissioned in 2020. The Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority owns the system (100%).
Up to $190 million is available to Puerto Rico’s Housing Administration and a private company to pay for solar and battery installations in public housing common areas and subsidized, multifamily housing properties. Another $175 million is available for certain healthcare and dialysis centers.
The announcement comes as the U.S. territory continues to struggle with chronic power outages that have worsened since Hurricane Maria pummeled the island as a powerful Category 4 storm in 2017, razing the electric grid. The outages also are blamed on a lack of maintenance and investment in its electric grid for decades.
