Known as the Ciro One project, the site includes a 90 MWdc solar array paired with a 51. 5 MW / 206 MWh battery energy storage system. The facility is designed to deliver steady, grid-supporting power in a region with increasing demand for energy stability and localized generation. As more homes became “mini power plants”, generating electricity from rooftop solar and storing it in batteries, the island's grid faced a new challenge: modernizing to manage a decentralized, variable system. Under the Biden administration, federal climate programs, including funds from the Inflation Reduction Act and FEMA's hazard mitigation initiatives, expanded incentives for rooftop solar and battery storage in disaster-prone places like Puerto Rico. These efforts included grants, rebates, and low-. With more than 185,000 home batteries in place and 81,000 households sharing stored energy, the CBES+ platform strengthens Puerto Rico's grid and helps avoid nighttime outages.
