Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority (PREPA)

The Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority (PREPA) is the government agency responsible for generating and distributing electricity in Puerto Rico. Established in 1941, it manages the island's power plants and transmission lines, aiming to provide reliable electricity to homes and businesses. PREPA has faced challenges, including aging infrastructure, financial difficulties, and the impacts of hurricanes, leading to frequent outages and a push for reforms. Despite these issues, PREPA plays a crucial role in the energy landscape of Puerto Rico, providing essential services to the population while transitioning toward more sustainable energy sources.
