Agenda
PR-GRID went virtual for 2020! What drove the agenda?
PR-GRID Virtual marked a pivotal moment for the Puerto Rican energy market. The entire landscape is changing—with the T&D Concession newly awarded, billions in federal funding in limbo, and ambitious plans set out in Act 17 and the IRP. Those developments are taking place against the backdrop of this year’s earthquakes, the Covid-19 pandemic, and the 2020 hurricane season.
Our virtual event included:
- Deep-Dive Interviews. In-depth conversations with key leaders in Puerto Rico’s energy market, covering everything from PREPA’s next steps to FEMA funding.
- Putting the pieces together. Given the uncertain future of the IRP, obligations to bondholders, and plans to privatize the public utility, can Puerto Rico hit the benchmarks in Act 17, making it to 100% renewable by 2050?
- Understanding the IRP. We unpack the IRP with experts who’ve been part of the process, asking if the plan is still viable in its current form, what role oil prices play, and whether the future is centralized or distributed.
- Town Halls. These multi-channel sessions are designed to get questions answered. Step in and ask about the RSA, solar & storage, the T&D concession, and more.
- Resilience. How do the earthquakes and Covid-19 impact grid planning, particularly for investment in generation assets? What projects are currently in process, and how will they be funded?
We also invited attendee’s to join one of our Themed Chat Rooms, get a quick download of key information with our Expert Corner Videos, or try Flash Networking to quickly connect with other delegates.
