Co-hosted by New Energy Events and the Puerto Rico Manufacturers Association (PRMA), PR-GRID II is convened as a marketplace for commercial, industrial, and municipal customers to meet and transact with developers and financiers of microgrids, mini-grids, solar, and storage.
What: PR GRID II
Dates: January 28-29, 2019
Location: Verdanza Hotel, San Juan, Puerto Rico
Details: Since the launch of the first PR-GRID in May, Puerto Rico’s energy system has continued to deteriorate. The legacy of Hurricane Maria lingers in daily power outages and households that are still without electricity. The country’s energy utility, PREPA, has been plagued by board upheaval. It is a predicament which demands direction, and yet it remains unclear which federal or state agency is at the helm.
Now, more than ever, stakeholders are clamoring for a modernized and resilient grid that can withstand another disaster. Increasingly there is a call for decentralized and distributed solutions. The Puerto Rico Manufacturers Association, the largest association of private sector companies in Puerto Rico and the co-host of PR-GRID II, is leading that charge.
Speakers include:
Jose Ortiz: CEO, PREPA
Edison Avilés-Deliz: President, Puerto Rico Energy Commission
Hon. Eduardo Bhatia-Gautier: Minority Leader & Former President, Senate of Puerto Rico
Noel Zamot: Revitalization Coordinator, Financial Oversight and Management Board for Puerto Rico
