The Costa Sur Thermal Power Plant, owned and operated by the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority (PREPA), is located in Guayanilla on the island’s southern coast.

It plays a central role in maintaining grid reliability during emergencies. In May 2025, PREPA restored Unit 5 to service following months of outage, adding 350 MW of dispatchable capacity ahead of the summer peak.

The US grid network is over-stressed. Changes in climate increasing severe weather events, the aging of the system, and the need to incorporate innovative technologies that it was not designed for, such as DERs, means that there are many challenges to be faced.
