This report by the Rocky Mountain Institute highlights the growing risks to the implementation of Puerto Rico's energy transformation. Despite the island's new energy policy, Act 17 of 2019, which aims to increase renewable energy adoption, Puerto Rico's electricity sector remains troubled and damaged from the 2017 hurricane season. Recent projects by PREPA and the P3 Authority have bypassed established regulatory processes, creating uncertainty and potential legal challenges. The authors suggest that a more collaborative and transparent approach is needed to ensure the success of Puerto Rico's energy transformation.
