NEWS: Puerto Rico's grid is at a tipping point

Puerto Rico’s power grid is at an inflection point. Here’s what to know ➡️

  • After years of outages and rising costs, Puerto Rico is taking the first official step to modify or cancel LUMA Energy’s 15-year contract to run the island’s power grid. (Financial Post)

  • And as LUMA flounders, temperatures rise, and outages spike, tens of thousands of home solar batteries are keeping Puerto Rico’s grid afloat nearly every night. LUMA says 70K+ home batteries are now dispatching power during peak shortfalls, delivering ~48 MW during evening crunch times. (Utility Dive)
