The recent allegations against Puerto Rico’s Energy Czar, Josué Colon Ortiz, are raising eyebrows. Reports suggest that as the deadline approached to finalize a critical $6 billion contract for managing the island’s troubled electric grid, he instructed his team to “make sure the contract gets signed.” This has sparked concern regarding whether his directive implied proceeding with the deal despite known issues with the involved business group or simply reminded them of the deadline.
This situation has potential implications beyond Puerto Rico and could attract attention in Washington, highlighting the complexities surrounding governance and energy management on the island.
