DEFENSESOLAR ENERGY
The US Department of Energy has canceled funding for solar energy projects in Puerto Rico, including a community initiative led by the Environmental Defense Fund, impacting over 100 families in Culebra and thousands across the island. This decision halts progress on clean energy access, as 45 families had previously installed solar systems through the pilot project. In response, EDF plans to explore alternative options to support energy independence and resilience for Culebra's communities.
