We need to do public-private partnerships for both transmission and distribution and generation, and actually split the two so that there is no monopoly in Puerto Rico.
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.
Well, one thing FEMA is doing is actually funding a public affairs campaign, public education campaign, encouraging people to build up to code.
I thank you for favorably reporting H.R. 8393 out of this Committee and urge Congress to approve it.
