A microgrid is like a miniaturized, tightly controlled version of a power grid. Several factors combine to make Puerto Rico an ideal place for solar power and microgrids. The group is a pioneer in bringing solar energy to Puerto Rico, having installed the first photovoltaic (PV) panels in Adjuntas in 1999.

The global energy supply became 6% cleaner from 1971 to 1990,in response to the oil shocks of the 1970s. The world must slow the growth of energy demand as well as make its energy supply cleaner, the IEA said. Without CCS, the world will have to abandon its reliance on fossil fuels much sooner—and that will come at a cost.

By integrating EVs with renewable energy generation, such as solar or wind power, it becomes possible to reduce reliance on non-renewable energy sources and create a more sustainable transportation ecosystem. The higher upfront costs made EVs less accessible and less attractive to a broader consumer base.
