The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Omaha District temporary power mission in San Juan, Puerto Rico, included the installation of 16 temporary power generation systems (pictured) at two antiquated powerplants located in the city of San Juan. The Palo Seco and San Juan powerplants, constructed in 1959 and 1964, have faced major stabilization issues since their erection. The instability was caused by a combination of factors, including outdated infrastructure, insufficient maintenance, extreme weather, and natural disasters. This marks a significant step forward in the ongoing efforts to enhance the local power grid’s resilience and reliability in the wake of Hurricane Maria in 2017 and Fiona in 2022.
