Small and remote islands are subject to an array of energy challenges. As they are isolated from mainland power grids, many face difficulties balancing supply and demand. They tend to be heavily dependent on imported fossil fuels, which can lead to high costs and energy security risks. When Hurricane Fiona swept through the Caribbean in 2022, communities across Puerto Rico found themselves once again plunged into darkness. But in one small mountain town, the lights stayed on. In Adjuntas, a community-owned solar microgrid continued powering local businesses throughout the storm, offering a powerful glimpse into the future of island energy…
