The Department of Energy has announced $453.5 million from the Puerto Rico Energy Resilience Fund to install up to 30,000 to 40,000 solar PV and battery storage systems for low-income single-family households, according to the agency Monday.

Funding will also be allocated toward consumer protection efforts to provide ongoing system education, training, and support.

This marks the first funding opportunity through PR-ERF, an initiative to support Puerto Rico’s most vulnerable communities in meeting the goal of 100% renewable energy by 2050, said the agency.
