Study: Energy from renewable sources would save Puerto Ricans $240M The energy drawn from renewable sources could represent savings of up to $240 million in energy production by 2020, resulting in significant relief to thousands of island residents who are served by the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority, according to the findings of a study unveiled Thursday by the Renewable Energy Producers Association. Beyond meeting the requirements established by Law 82, and the government’s willingness to fulfill it, “we must not overlook that boosting renewable energy projects would mean an investment of about $5.4 billion from the private sector as a whole, the creation of 19,000 jobs, and wages amounting to $490 million from now until 2020,” Association President Julián Herencia said, upon discussing the results of the study by analyst firm Estudios Técnicos.
