In 2008, Earthshine proposed to the Government of Puerto Rico feasible solutions to significantly reduce electric power costs in the island.  One of the key solutions was to facilitate infrastructure for PREPA to be able to receive natural gas directly at its plants from offshore facilities.  We brought to PREPA a partner with the Best Available Technology and became their consultants and helped them market their idea to PREPA.  The project has now started the permitting stage and will become the first offshore LNG storage and re-gasification terminal in the Caribbean. It is expected to save PREPA more than $500 million/year in fuel costs, and the people of Puerto Rico will get a much needed boost to the island's economy through lower electricity bills for all.  Most importantly, the benefits to the environment include a reduction of air emissions of over 60% and the reduction of heavy fuel oil barge traffic through protected and environmentally sensitive waters.

Throughout this project, we have developed a great amount of expertise in the area of natural gas infrastructure, sourcing, transport, and delivery.

Renewables

Through aggressive business strategies, policy consulting services, and technology marketing in the private and public sector, we have developed market opportunities for solar and wind energy throughout the Caribbean. The signing of legislation in Puerto Rico and other jurisdictions providing incentives for renewable energy projects has provided the ideal environment to launch solar, wind and landfill recovery projects. We have been a key partner in helping developers obtain Power Purchase Agreements and are also providing interconnection consulting, design, and construction supervision services to various renewable energy developers.
