Five years ago, #HurricaneMaria devastated the island of #PuertoRico, resulting in billions of dollars in damage. Residents struggled without electricity for months and still experience frequent, long-lasting power outages.

Another ~10bn to co-ops for loans until 2031 to improve #resilience & #reliability w/ investments in #renewables & #transmission . Co-ops 'own' transmission lines & this money can motivate adjacent upgrades. Also critical that #renewables & #transmission appear together here! 3/
