Puerto Rico Energy Bureau Approves La Cooperativa Hidroeléctrica de la Montaña's Microgrid Operations
The Puerto Rico Energy Bureau has approved La Cooperativa Hidroeléctrica de la Montaña to operate its microgrids, which aim to provide renewable energy through solar power and revitalized hydro plants in mountainous areas. The initiative, part of the Resiliencia Energética Fotovoltaica Comunitaria project, plans to install 5 MW of photovoltaic systems in remote towns and restore hydro plants' capacity to 50 MWh. This development is expected to enhance electricity distribution and reduce outages in the region.

The Puerto Rico Energy Bureau (PREB) has authorized La Cooperativa Hidroeléctrica de la Montaña (CHM) to operate its microgrids after resolving contract model deficiencies. Formed in 2019, CHM aims to provide renewable energy through solar power and revived hydro plants in Puerto Rico's mountainous regions.
The co-op's microgrids, which utilize solar panels and battery storage, will distribute electricity independently to reduce outages. PREB confirmed CHM's revised contract on December 30, addressing necessary compliance measures.
The microgrid initiative, under the Resiliencia Energética Fotovoltaica Comunitaria project, plans to install 5 MW of photovoltaic systems in remote towns like Adjuntas, Jayuya, Lares, and Utuado. Additionally, CHM is developing the Microgrid of the Mountain to combine hydroelectric and solar power, targeting a restoration of hydro plants' capacity to 50 MWh.
