Description
Puerto Rico’s 100% renewable energy target is attainable, according to a
new study by the Department of Energy. But the island’s residents are
nervous that a new contract with natural gas company New Fortress Energy
will jeopardize chances of reaching that goal. New Fortress Energy will
take over the island’s power plants system, and residents – who are
already wary of more privatization of the power system – worry the
company isn’t committed to greening its grid. POLITICO’s Gloria Gonzalez
breaks down how Puerto Rico’s power privatization deal casts a shadow
over its renewable energy goals. Plus, the Biden administration advanced
the proposed ConocoPhillips Willow oil project in Alaska.
Josh Siegel is an energy reporter for POLITICO.
Gloria Gonzalez is the Deputy Energy Editor at POLITICO Pro.
Nirmal Mulaikal is a POLITICO audio host-producer.
