Projects in Puerto Rico
This power plant was the first project in Puerto Rico to produce power with natural gas and produces around 20% of the electricity consumed on the island. The plant has a 540 MW combined cycle
Puerto Rico has 55 power plants totalling 6,091 MW and 2,995 km of power lines mapped on OpenStreetMap. If multiple sources are listed for a power plant, only the first source is used in this breakdown.

Geographic isolation, aging infrastructure and repeated hurricane damage have left the island vulnerable to frequent power outages. The Puerto Rico authorities have called for emergency measures that will help communities contribute energy quickly during grid crises. The VPP is one of those measures.
The Puerto Rico authorities have called for emergency measures that will help communities contribute energy quickly during grid crises. The VPP is one of those measures. Through the VPP, thousands of Powerwall units operating across the island can work together to create one “virtual” energy resource.
Total number of megawatts (MWs) being dispatched from Powerwall units to support the grid. Reserve capacity (MWs) available to the grid. Higher is better, and Puerto Rico's VPP boosts grid energy reserves during high-demand hours. Without the VPP, energy reserves would have been lower, making the grid less resilient.
