Puerto Rico Energy Oversight and Accountability Act

This bill would require the Comptroller General, who leads the Government Accountability Office, to study the operations of LUMA Energy and Genera PR, the companies that run parts of Puerto Rico's power system. The study would cover the period from June 1, 2021, onward and would look at how the companies' decisions have affected contracting, coordination with government agencies, federal recovery efforts, and grid improvement projects. It would also examine local government policies and obstacles to federal funding and oversight in Puerto Rico's energy sector. The results would go to Congress within one year of the law taking effect and again one year later, along with recommendations on oversight, coordination, use of federal funds, and grid planning.
