Microgrids in Puerto Rico Keep Rural Communities Connected

Rural communities in Puerto Rico are banding together to host solar-powered microgrid systems for emergencies like Hurricane Fiona and for day-to-day use. Electricity prices have increased to 33 cents per kWh in 2022—almost double the 2020 rate—due to global increases in the cost of natural gas, which needs to be imported to the island.

3 FAQs about [Microgrid ess Puerto Rico]

Will $1 billion be used to build microgrids in Puerto Rico?

The US Department of Energy seeks stakeholder input on how to fast-track the distribution of $1 billion to build microgrids and other energy resilience projects in Puerto Rico. The case for microgrids in Puerto Rico became clear five years ago when Hurricane Maria shut down its entire grid and parts of the island had no power for 11 months.

Will Puerto Rico build a hospital center microgrid?

Meanwhile, Puerto Rico’s Department of Housing has issued a request for proposals for design, construction, operations and maintenance of a hospital center microgrid. Bids are due May 26 for what is expected to be the island’s first hospital microgrid ( CDBG-DR-RFP-2023-01 .)

Will $1 billion help improve energy resilience in Puerto Rico?

Now the US Department of Energy plans to change that with the distribution of $1 billion to improve energy resilience in Puerto Rico. Funds are slated to go to microgrids, solar, energy storage and other smart grid technologies.
