Convergent, PREPA sign PPA for 100 MW solar and energy storage project in Coamo

Convergent Energy + Power, a North American provider of energy storage solutions, and Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority (PREPA) have signed a power purchase and operating agreement for a 100 MW solar generation project paired with a 55 MW battery to be located in Coamo, Puerto Rico.

Convergent's Puerto Rico subsidiary, Convergent Coamo, will own and operate the solar-plus-storage system. The system, which is expected to come online in 2024 if customary conditions are met, is part of a larger plan to accelerate Puerto Rico's strategic clean energy transition.

PREPA awarded Convergent's large-scale solar-plus-storage system as one of the first in response to its multi-tranche solicitation effort to modernize Puerto Rico's electric grid.
