Abstract
The aftermath of hurricane maria led Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority to propose several new plans to rebuild the island’s infrastructure and make investments to strengthen the island’s power grid. Although Puerto Rico’s central utility proposed a suite of centralized, thermal-based investments to improve reliability, a multisectoral coalition comprising community and labor groups as well as environmental and energy experts presented Queremos Sol in 2018 as a holistic path to modernize Puerto Rico’s energy sector to attain a more sustainable, resilient, and equitable electric system. Queremos Sol’s grid transformation is driven by 1) efficiency, conservation, and demand management; 2) distributed renewable generation with storage emphasizing roof top solar; and 3) an accelerated phase-out of fossil fuel generation. Queremos Sol seeks to achieve 25% energy efficiency and a minimum 50% renewable generation by 2035 to reach 100% renewable generation by 2050.
