Edici贸n especial sobre la transformaci贸n energ茅tica de Puerto Rico: en qu茅 punto est谩n la reestructuraci贸n de la deuda de la AEE, la reconstrucci贸n de la red, la transici贸n a LUMA y el Estudio PR100, y lo m谩s importante de nuestro an谩lisis del contrato de Genera.
A special edition on Puerto Rico鈥檚 energy transformation: where PREPA鈥檚 debt restructuring, grid reconstruction, the LUMA transition and the PR100 Study stand, plus highlights from our analysis of the Genera contract.
We analyze the agreement under which Genera PR will operate, maintain and eventually decommission PREPA鈥檚 legacy power plants. It offers better protections than the LUMA contract, but its projected savings are thin and poorly supported.
After Fiona鈥檚 blackout, two Spanish experts outline what makes an electric grid work: regulation that penalizes outages, active state supervision of the grid operator, and a digital grid built to integrate renewables.
Tras el apag贸n de Fiona, dos expertos espa帽oles explican qu茅 hace funcionar una red el茅ctrica: una regulaci贸n que sanciona los apagones, una supervisi贸n activa del operador de la red y una red digitalizada para integrar las renovables.
Five years after Hurricane Maria, Puerto Rico鈥檚 reconstruction lags because of poor coordination among federal, island and municipal agencies and competing plans for the grid. We propose a Puerto Rico Recovery Task Force modeled on the one created after Hurricane Sandy.
A cinco a帽os del hurac谩n Mar铆a, la reconstrucci贸n de Puerto Rico se rezaga por la falta de coordinaci贸n entre las agencias federales, estatales y municipales, y por planes que compiten entre s铆 para la red el茅ctrica. Proponemos un grupo de trabajo para la recuperaci贸n de Puerto Rico inspirado en el que se cre贸 tras el hurac谩n Sandy.
Nine days after Hurricane Fiona, about 500,000 customers still lacked power. We explain why restoring the grid requires close coordination between LUMA and power generators, and look at how the European press covered the storm.
