Puerto Rico Energy Sector

The Puerto Rico Energy Sector refers to the system of energy production, distribution, and consumption in Puerto Rico, a territory of the United States. This sector encompasses various sources of energy, including fossil fuels, renewable energy sources such as solar and wind, and electricity generation plants. The energy infrastructure in Puerto Rico is governed by entities like the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority (PREPA), which manages the majority of electricity generation and distribution on the island. The sector has faced challenges, including recovery from severe weather events, financial difficulties, and the transition toward more sustainable energy practices. Efforts are underway to diversify energy sources, enhance energy efficiency, and integrate more renewable energy options to create a more resilient and sustainable energy system for the residents of Puerto Rico.
