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.

At left is a good example of what I mean by: “The last 150 years hasn’t been good for philosophers.”
In the late 19th Century, a question like this was the purview of philosophy. Now it’s the domain for neuroscientists.
Similarly, the question: “what are the ultimate building blocks of the universe” was fodder for everyone from the ancient Greek philosophers up to the far more recent metaphysicians. Now we ask particle physicists.
This is funny, but in actuality, sane people don’t physically attack the MAGA crowd; in fact, we don’t even make snide comments.
We keep our thoughts to ourselves. We may feel sorry for these people’s moral depravity and/or stupidity. We may be angry that the country that was once the envy of the world is now viewed with ridicule and disdain in its path to become irrelevant in global affairs.
But messing with hateful morons in red hats isn’t helping anyone.
Here’s the latest on Trump’s efforts to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, while waging an aggressive war in Iran, executing people he suspects of carrying drug off the coast of Venezuela, pledging to take over Cuba, and annexing Greenland from a (former) ally.
