Grid operators and electricity market in Puerto Rico
Single buyerOne state buyer, private generators
Oil, gas and coal supply most power, with growing rooftop solar. The grid is still recovering from Hurricane Maria and suffers frequent outages.
No open power exchange: producers sell to the single buyer under long-term contracts.
Regional grid

What does “Single buyer” mean?
Independent power producers build plants and sell their output under long-term contracts to one designated state buyer, usually the national utility, which runs the grid and sells to consumers.
