CSA is proud to announce that CSA’s Vice President of Energy, Fernando Padilla, will be a panelist at the 17th annual Caribbean Renewable Energy Forum (CREF), taking place from May 7-9, 2025, at the JW Marriott Marquis in Miami, Florida. Fernando will join key energy leaders, Nick Pastrana Power Solar Commercial Developments Director, and María Hilda Rivera LUMA Director of Grid Modernization, on May 9th to discuss the topic: “Puerto Rico: Utility-Scale vs. Distributed Generation – An Unexpected Path to 100% by 2050?”
#CREF is the premier annual gathering for regional and international stakeholders dedicated to accelerating the Caribbean’s clean energy transition. This event brings together government leaders, utilities, investors, developers, and innovators to discuss solutions for building a resilient, low-carbon energy future.
The panel discussion, moderated by Roberto Estevez, Global Energy Alliance for People and the Planet GEAPP Country Delivery Manager for Latin America and Caribbean, will delve into the pathways for Puerto Rico to achieve its ambitious goal of 100% renewable energy by 2050. Key topics will include the benefits and challenges of utility-scale versus distributed generation, the role of community participation, and the necessary system upgrades and investments to support this transition. This forum will provide valuable insights into how Puerto Rico can balance large-scale renewable projects with localized energy solutions to create a robust and sustainable energy infrastructure.
The importance of this conference for the energy sector in Puerto Rico and the Caribbean cannot be overstated. It serves as a critical platform for advancing renewable energy policies, fostering investment in solar, wind, geothermal, and energy storage solutions, and strengthening public-private partnerships to accelerate clean energy adoption
CSA is committed to continuing our involvement in energy initiatives, working alongside key stakeholders to support the transition to resilient and sustainable energy systems in the USA, Puerto Rico, and the Caribbean.
Together, we are at the forefront of energy transformation! ⚡️🌎
