Expensive Power in Puerto Rico: How It Hits Small Businesses
Electricity in Puerto Rico just hit a record: a net increase of 5.28 cents per kilowatt hour approved by the Energy Bureau for October through December 2026 pushed the residential rate to 33.86 cents per kWh, almost double the mainland U.S. average of 18.3 cents, and small businesses face a calculated 17.1% jump on their bill. In this episode, Valeria and Marco explain why power on the island is so expensive and unpredictable, where the hit lands inside a business (refrigeration, air conditioning, lighting and equipment), what it does to margins and consumer prices, and how owners can fight back: measuring consumption, tightening maintenance, investing in efficiency, budgeting electricity as a variable cost, and evaluating solar energy with clear numbers and no sales pressure.
