Last month, I formally requested emergency assistance from FEMA to stabilize our power system by providing additional generation assets and accelerating work on our transmission and distribution grid.
FEMA has agreed to come in and assist us in increasing our power generation for a period of time which could range between 1 year and 1½ years.
Having a plan of adjustment confirmed by the Federal court is absolutely essential, because it would stabilize PREPA's finances.
I am not going to allow PREPA to end up with a debt burden that is going to end up causing extraordinary increases, unacceptable increases, in the cost of electricity in Puerto Rico.
