The power industry in Puerto Rico is coming together to overcome an unprecedented transformation. Substantial investments and efforts are on the way to deliver a modern Transmission and Distribution grid, enabling a sustainable energy transformation for the people of Puerto Rico. After many years in the US mainland, and as a native Puerto Rican I am proud and humbled to be part of this journey. With our organization’s commitment, experience, and investments in local talent, we look to contribute towards a better Puerto Rico."
Rafael Pagan, PE
Director of Project Development
An extraordinary endeavor is underway to transform Puerto Rico’s electric grid following a series of historic natural disasters. These events have wreaked havoc on the island's infrastructure, further emphasizing the need for increased reliability, resiliency, distributed resources, and advanced technological solutions.
With a mission unchanged since 1898 — make our clients successful — our professionals are ready to partner on the toughest challenges efficiently and safely. As an employee-owned firm, we bring an ownership mentality that emphasizes creative problem-solving to complete virtually any project or challenge — whether known or unforeseen — in a timely, integrated, and efficient manner.
Transforming the grid into a more robust, reliable, and resilient electric system across Puerto Rico will take time. Burns & McDonnell is committed and ready to expand our collaboration with local partners to deliver industry leading solutions for a modernized grid that is strong, smart, and sustainable.
