Pedro Pierluisi: “I respectfully request that the final budget account for these grants to Puerto Rico.”

We are devoting $1.3 billion of CDBG-DR funding for microgrids, distributed energy initiatives in remote communities.

I am devoting--it is my call--$500 million of CDBG-MIT funding to provide, basically, solar systems with batteries to roughly 25,000 low-income households.

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.

Having a plan of adjustment confirmed by the Federal court is absolutely essential, because it would stabilize PREPA's finances.
