The Group Infinigen Renewablesa subsidiary of a fund managed by ArcLight Capital Partners, has teamed up with FlexGen Power Systems, Inc. an energy storage systems integrator and software technology provider, to implement a 32 MW solar and 15 MW storage project. in Yabucoa, Puerto Rico. This project will increase the reliability and flexibility of the local power grid, by also integrating the increased output of the YFN Yabucoa solar plant.

Adoption of advanced network technologies

To meet the demanding standards of the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority, the project will use FlexGen’s HybridOS energy management platform and digital controls, positioning the system among the most advanced in terms of network specifications.

Economic impact and capacity expansion

Leslie Hufstetler, CEO of Infinigen Renewables, said, “This project expands our current fleet in Puerto Rico to over 100 MW. With our development pipeline of over 1 GW of renewable assets, this represents another step towards the strategic goal of becoming the leading developer and operator of solar and storage capacity in Puerto Rico.”

Commitment to energy reliability and system improvements

Kelcy Pegler, CEO of FlexGen, stressed: “Energy storage is crucial to help Puerto Rico cope with extreme weather and grid reliability. The island also has some of the most stringent grid requirements in the world. We’re proud to have been chosen and to partner with Infinigen Renewables on this project, a leading developer and operator of renewables.”

Forecasts and plans for continued expansion

With a deep portfolio, resources and considerable experience in the local market, Infinigen is actively seeking opportunities to expand its footprint in Puerto Rico. The current and future development of solar and battery projects aims to meet the island’s growing energy demand and promote a sustainable energy transition.

Infinigen’s new project in Yabucoa illustrates a progression in the development of renewable energy infrastructure in Puerto Rico, supporting the island’s long-term goals of sustainability and energy reliability.
