Generac Power Systems has been awarded a $200 million grant, spread over five years, by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) as part of the Puerto Rico Energy Resilience Fund.
Under the fund’s Programa Acceso Solar, the company and its local project affiliates are expected to facilitate installation of residential solar and BESS for disadvantaged households in areas that experience frequent and prolonged power outages.
Installations are expected to begin next month.
“We’ve been providing reliable backup power solutions to the people of Puerto Rico for more than 20 years, including after Hurricane Maria devastated the island’s power grid and left 95% of residents without electricity,” says Aaron Jagdfeld, president and CEO at Generac. “We are proud to be a recipient of this DOE grant to provide clean, resilient efficient power for those who are often underserved during outages.”
Generac’s partner companies supporting the program include:
- PathStone, a nonprofit providing community and workforce development and humanitarian services in Puerto Rico, and the Interstate Renewable Energy Council, a clean energy non-profit that leads community programs and market research.
- FR-BLDM, a local contractor, will lead installations.
- Juapi Energy, a PWRcell installer and Generac service dealer in Puerto Rico.
- Palmetto will extend three of its commercial software applications to help facilitate homeowners’ transition to solar and storage in Puerto Rico.

It depends on what you believe.
Fox News will tell you that our southern border is no longer being overrun, that we’ve discovered that vaccinations are unsafe, that we’re standing up against Sharia Law, we’re preventing Iran from building a nuclear weapon, prices are coming down (or soon will be), Trump is an honest and effective servant of the American people and that the U.S. is once again respected on the world stage.
We live in a country where tens of millions of idiots believe every word of this.

I met a guy today from a rural part of Central England–“nothing but farms and pubs,” as he put it. His father was an epidemiologist working for the United Nations, and so, as a boy, he lived all over the world and grew up largely in developing countries that suffered from horrific diseases.
He and his wife had the conversation one would expect from such people:
- Why are we so content to ignore climate change that is ruining our planet?
- Why are people so indifferent to the suffering of others?
- How is it possible that billionaires expect to live well here on Earth while 99.9% of us suffering with wildfires, devastating storms, blistering heat, losses of landmasses, and desertification?
- At the end of the day, is money really that precious?
Obviously, not everyone thinks this way, but to be in something of a “lovefest” for just a few minutes was a great relief.
relief.
