Puerto Rico’s current electricity system is complex, isolated, reliant on imported fuels, and vulnerable to extreme weather events and other natural hazards. Decades of operational, maintenance, and financial challenges have resulted in a system that lags far behind accepted reliability levels.
Overall, this can help support a just and inclusive energy transition for Puerto Rico. Developing and expanding job training and education programs could help prepare the Puerto Rico workforce to meet the estimated 25,000 jobs required for the transition to 100% renewables.
Continually evaluating local resilience benefits, such as microgrids, will improve the resilience planning efforts across all time periods. Overall, this can help support a just and inclusive energy transition for Puerto Rico.
We used results of an NREL analysis conducted by Mooney and Waechter (2020) to assess (1) how rooftop solar potential in Puerto Rico is distributed geographically, by income group, building type, and tenure of the building occupants and (2) how much electrical consumption can be offset by rooftop solar.
The study also found that distributed PV deployment is an essential building block towards reaching 100% penetrations and is especially needed to overcome many of the resilience challenges that Puerto Rico’s grid could face; scenarios with more rooftop PV enabled much faster recovery than those with more centralized generation.
Under all scenarios (Scenarios 1, 2, 3) and variations, the amount of rooftop PV capacity and storage capacity deployed in Puerto Rico by 2050 will be significant both in aggregate (2,500 to 6,100 MW) and in the instantaneous power supplied back to the grid during the day.
