Analysis and Modeling to Assess Solar PV Potential on Puerto Rican Brownfields and Reservoirs Cayey Landfill. Photo by Maya FeinCole, NREL 89452-. Using land-use and terrain information, a technical potential analysis for utility-scale PV plants was conducted for Puerto Rico. This analysis restricted single modeled PV plant development to a maximum nameplate capacity of 100 MW. The nameplate capacities for each municipality were then determined. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Loan Programs Office announced a conditional commitment for a loan guarantee of up to $584.5 million to subsidiaries of Convergent Energy and Power Inc., an energy storage provider.The loan guarantee is intended to finance a solar system with an integrated battery energy storage system (BESS) and three stand-alone BESS projects across Puerto Rico. Theoretical Solar PV Potential: Up to 3.3 Gigawatts (GW) Across Puerto Rico Brownfields and Reservoirs. For this study, brownfields include Superfund and other contaminated sites, landfills, power plant footprints, and transmission lines rights-of-way. All analyzed sites are within 1 mile or less of existing. Professor Christian Breyer and LUT University colleagues present an optimal solution for Puerto Rico that deploys over three times the installed clean energy capacity as the DOE’s model—including 17 gigawatts of floating offshore solar power—yet claim this pathway cuts Puerto Rico’s cost of electricity by more than half.
