PREPA

PREPA, or Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority, is the government-owned organization responsible for generating, transmitting, and distributing electricity across Puerto Rico. It manages the island’s power grid and supplies electricity to homes, businesses, and public facilities. PREPA operates power plants that generate energy, primarily from fossil fuels and renewable sources, and maintains the infrastructure needed to deliver electricity reliably. As a public utility, it plays a crucial role in Puerto Rico’s daily life and economy, though it has faced challenges like aging infrastructure, financial struggles, and the transition to cleaner energy options.
