La electricidad de emergencia de NFE en San Juan está apoyando la red eléctrica de Puerto Rico

HISTORIA LLENA DE ENERGÍA

Estamos alimentando a San Juan con energía positiva

Desarrollamos una instalación de energía de 200 MW en San Juan respondiendo a la solicitud de FEMA sobre energía de emergencia para apoyar la red eléctrica de Puerto Rico. Nuestro sitio de energía en San Juan está ubicado junto a nuestra terminal de GNL existente de la zona, a solo siete millas de nuestra instalación de energía en Palo Seco. La instalación genera 200 MW de energía a partir de diez unidades móviles de 25 MW, al mismo tiempo que obtiene 19 TBTU adicionales de gas natural licuado esencial a través de nuestra terminal de GNL en San Juan.

Proporcionando acceso crítico a la electricidad

Históricamente, Puerto Rico ha sufrido de escasez crítica de electricidad causada por el envejecimiento de la infraestructura y los daños causados por los huracanes. Los constantes daños a la isla han provocado una red eléctrica inestable y frecuentes cortes de electricidad. Durante los meses de verano más cálidos de la isla y cuando los huracanes son más frecuentes, estos cortes de electricidad no solo ponen en peligro la vida, sino que también son perjudiciales para la economía de Puerto Rico. Se estima que cada evento de pérdida de electricidad le costará a Puerto Rico 14 millones de dólares con pérdidas totales que podrían aproximarse a 700 millones de dólares al año dado el estado actual del sistema⁽¹⁾.

Ayudando a nuestros vecinos

Es por eso que hemos intervenido.

Para ayudar a estabilizar la red eléctrica de la isla antes de la temporada de huracanes, la Agencia Federal para la Gestión de Emergencias (FEMA) encargó al Cuerpo del Ejército que proporcione hasta 700 MW de electricidad de emergencia. Rápidamente aceptamos el desafío e instalamos 200 MW de electricidad de emergencia en San Juan, a pocos metros de nuestra terminal de San Juan. La instalación eléctrica de San Juan está ayudando a estabilizar la red de Puerto Rico y a proporcionar energía más limpia y fiable para la isla.

También instalamos otros 150 MW de electricidad de emergencia en Palo Seco, junto a nuestra terminal de San Juan y a la instalación de electricidad de San Juan. Las instalaciones constan de generadores de combustible dual que se suministran con gas natural desde nuestra terminal de San Juan mediante camiones.

¡Nos enorgullece impulsar a Puerto Rico con energía positiva y desempeñar nuestro papel para proporcionar acceso crítico a la energía a las comunidades que más la necesitan!
