The U.S. Has a Plan to Fix Puerto Rico’s Dangerously Busted Energy Grid

For more than four years, Puerto Rico's residents have gone without reliable power.  Hurricane Maria crippled the already vulnerable grid and efforts to restore and rebuild have been met with one obstacle after another.  Now, several U.S. agencies will partner to fix the islands’ battered electrical grid.  The initiative aims to modernize the grid and transition the area to clean energy by 2025. Currently only 3 percent of the energy generated comes from renewable energy sources.  Is the goal to achieve 100 percent renewable energy by 2025 within reach?
