The U.S. Energy Department has canceled solar projects in Puerto Rico, affecting initiatives worth millions intended to assist 30,000 low-income families due to concerns over grid reliability. Despite these cancellations, which include a $400 million program for low-income homes, local advocates argue that solar power currently supports around 200,000 families. The department plans to redirect up to $350 million for grid improvements as part of a broader effort to enhance energy resilience following Hurricane Maria.
