Puerto Rico is undergoing a crucial and mandated transition to a resilient, renewable energy grid, creating an unprecedented opportunity for investors in the utility-scale solar sector.
This opportunity centers on a 100MW Solar Farm Development Opportunity that is Ready to Build, backed by the critical security of a 25-Year Government Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) at an attractive price of $139 USD/MWh.
This project is not just a solar development; it is a foundational component of the island’s energy independence and modernization goals, which mandate achieving 100% renewable energy by 2050. With a long-term, fixed-price PPA from a government-backed entity, this offering significantly mitigates market risk while promising stable, long-term revenue.
Investors are invited to participate in a project that is shovel-ready, positioned in a high-insolation region, and perfectly timed to capitalize on Puerto Rico’s urgent need for clean, reliable power generation. This is a chance to secure a major asset in one of the most compelling clean energy markets in the Caribbean.
Executive Summary & Market Position
