The total investment in this project is estimated at $767 million, paralleling Puerto Rico''s largest power plant in capacity. Tesla''s Powerwall 3 and Virtual Power Plant programs are launched in Puerto Rico, offering energy
The BESS project represents an essential solution for the stabilization and modernization of Puerto Rico''s energy system, with a storage capacity of 430 megawatts, equivalent to 1,720 megawatt-hours of energy for four hours, distributed in six strategic locations.
The Puerto Rico Electricity Board (PREB) has approved a plan to accelerate the adoption of battery energy storage system (BESS) technology in the US island territory.
The Yabucoa Project is FlexGen''s second in Puerto Rico and builds on a rapidly growing fleet of energy storage assets monitored by their EMS platform throughout the United States for investor-owned utilities, municipal and cooperative utilities
Utilities'' traditional reliance on large power plants is shifting to a model that includes distributed energy resources such as rooftop solar, battery storage and even electric vehicles.

Genera PR’s Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) The adoption of battery energy storage systems (BESS) in Puerto Rico represents a major step toward improving grid stability and responsiveness. BESS will facilitate the integration of renewable energy sources, which will in turn reduce reliance on expensive, inefficient energy sources.
Rooftop solar and storage could provide 75% of Puerto Rico’s power, a report by nonprofit groups Cambio and IEEFA found in 2021. The report said that distributed solar and storage should be the focus for $9.6 billion in US Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) funds allocated for Puerto Rico’s grid reconstruction.
Rúa-Jovet said blackouts have become so routine that solar and storage are now a necessity in Puerto Rico and demand is unlikely to be slowed by changes in federal policy — some of which were enacted through the tax code, which has limited impact on the territory.
Image: Wikimedia Commons, Francisco Jose Carrera Campos Puerto Rico’s 1.6 GWh of residential-sited batteries represents the “largest untapped virtual power plant” in the world, said Javier Rúa-Jovet, chief policy officer at the Solar and Energy Storage Association of Puerto Rico (SESA-PR).
“The only thing that is working consistently in Puerto Rico is solar and batteries,” he said. What started as a modest pilot program is now the first virtual power plant of its kind in the region, advocates say.
Upon completion, the Project will deliver clean energy to the grid and is anticipated to power the equivalent of more than 80,000 homes, generating approximately 3% of Puerto Rico’s energy needs.* Located on State Road PR-03 km 150.5, Guayama, PR 00784.
