New Report: Investment in Puerto Rico’s Clean Energy Infrastructure Can Support Future Economic Growth
Washington, D.C.—Today, the U.S. Congress Joint Economic Committee Democrats released a new report outlining how investment in Puerto Rico’s clean energy infrastructure can support economic growth on the island. Congress has appropriated $12 billion in relief funding to rebuild Puerto Rico’s energy system, including modernization of the energy grid, in response to the destruction caused by multiple recent natural disasters. The report argues that these funds offer an opportunity for investment in a modern grid.
