San Juan Mayor Miguel Romero Lugo announced Wednesday the start of a request for proposals (RFP) process for the development of energy microgrids, with an emphasis on the Río Piedras Medical Center (MMC) microgrid project.
“The development of microgrids not only represents a significant step toward San Juan’s energy self-sufficiency, but also reinforces our commitment to resilience in the face of natural disasters,” Romero Lugo said. “We are determined to make San Juan a model of sustainability and energy efficiency for the entire island.”
The MMC project is designed to ensure the operational continuity of critical health facilities during emergencies. With the project’s development, uninterrupted access to essential medical services will be guaranteed, reinforcing the safety and well-being of the most vulnerable communities.
The approximate cost of the microgrid projects was not provided.
Interested companies can obtain the specifications and terms of reference at the Office of Management and Budget, located in the Municipal Tower, 14th Floor, during business hours starting immediately. The deadline for submitting proposals is Feb. 28, until 3 p.m.
“With these projects, we reaffirm our vision of a San Juan prepared for the challenges of the future,” Romero Lugo added. “We want each resident and each community to feel that their well-being and safety are at the center of our priorities. Reliable and sustainable energy is not a luxury, it is a necessity that we will continue to guarantee.”
