Description

It’s been eight years since Hurricane Maria struck Puerto Rico, causing one of the longest power outages in U.S. history and leaving behind a fragile electric grid. But Puerto Ricans have taken their future into their own hands, and thousands of locals have invested in solar panels and batteries to keep the lights on for themselves and for everyone.



For this episode of the Local Energy Rules Podcast, host John Farrell is joined by Javier Rúa-Jovet, Chief Policy Officer the Solar and Energy Storage Association of Puerto Rico.|
