The article discusses the acceleration of battery energy storage system (BESS) technology in Puerto Rico. Luma Energy, a joint venture responsible for Puerto Rico's electricity distribution network, proposed the 'Accelerated storage addition program' (ASAP) to integrate BESS onto the grid efficiently. The program aims to add around 360MW of energy storage output at existing IPP facilities in two phases. It includes creating Standard Offer contracts to lower costs and increase energy storage capacity in Puerto Rico. The island's goal is to reach 100% renewable energy by 2050 and deploy 1,500MW of BESS to enhance network reliability.
