In partnership with the Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) and other community-based organizations, the Foundation implemented a pilot program that successfully installed solar panels and batteries in 45 low- and moderate-income households. The program prioritized elderly individuals, families with children, and those with health or other special needs.
Building on this success, we worked together to provide up to 150 low-income families with solar and battery systems as part of the Department of Energy Resilience Fund Program. After identifying and qualifying the first 45 families, the Trump Administration cancelled the program in December 2025.
As we continue to work to achieve the goal to make Culebra the first “green” island in the Caribbean, we are now seeking other funding sources to provide the 45 families the solar and battery systems they need and deserve.
