From Maria to Microgrids: Why Puerto Rico’s Energy Future Should Be Built on Distributed Energy
Puerto Rico has a very long and politicized electrical grid history, and politics will play a big role in how the island territory will recover from the devastation of Hurricane Maria, a category 4 storm that hit the island on September 20, 2017.
