Pattern Puerto Rico

PROJECT STATEMENT

Pattern Energy will construct two stand-alone battery energy storage system projects to improve grid reliability and security in Puerto Rico.

PROJECT SUMMARY

In August 2026, EDF closed a $489 million loan to Amanecer Puerto Rico LLC, a subsidiary of Pattern Energy, to lower electricity costs and strengthen and modernize the Puerto Rican electricity grid. In accordance with President Trump’s Executive Order, Unleashing American Energy, the EDF loan will finance the development and construction of two stand-alone battery energy storage system projects totaling 220 MW of energy in the municipalities of Arecibo and Santa Isabel in the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.

PROJECT IMPACT

The Pattern Puerto Rico project will improve grid reliability and security, create hundreds of jobs, and help ensure Americans have access to affordable, reliable, and secure energy. Puerto Rico’s electric grid experiences significant power disruptions, with outages lasting longer than those on the mainland. The project will source battery energy storage system equipment domestically to expand America’s energy supply chains. Additionally, as a longtime operating partner to Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority (PREPA), Pattern is working to deliver new gas-fired generation to meet the island’s essential energy needs.

ECONOMIC IMPACT

Thanks to President Trump’s Working Families Tax Cuts Act, the investment will save Puerto Rican households and businesses approximately $312.5 million in electricity costs over the next 25 years.
