I thank my colleague for yielding. I am happy to rise in support of this amendment. This amendment highlights the importance of prioritizing funding for renewable energy projects that will enhance the long-term resilience of Puerto Rico's infrastructure.

Madam Chairwoman, if I might, I want to take just a moment also to highlight section 304 of the bill. Section 304 requires HUD and other Federal partners to finish the consultation on the $2 billion provided in the Bipartisan Budget Act for electrical grid improvements in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands within 30 days and for HUD to issue a notice in 60 days.
