Graffiti seen on a wall reads"Puerto Rico free of [coal] ash... Who Is Killing Us ?" near a landfill where coal waste is deposited in Tallaboa, Penuelas, Puerto Rico. For longer than most can remember, Puerto Ricans have paid some of the highest energy costs in the U.S. to a notoriously unreliable utility that neglected their grid for years and subjected local people to highly polluting toxins.
With the island moving away from coal next year, renewable energy is expected to take over a much larger share of Puerto Rico’s energy market, as Gov. Rosselló announced that: “By 2025, we expect to produce 40% of our electric power from renewable sources.” The entrance to the EC Waste Inc. landfill, where coal waste is deposited, stands in Tallaboa, Penuelas, Puerto Rico.Puerto Rico has been looking to become more self-sufficient after the island was devastated by Hurricane Maria in 2017. Reliance on renewable energy will help reduce the risks of power outages and help future-proof the island’s energy security, much like how South Australiaits energy supply once it adopted a renewable energy and storage backup system in 2018.
