Plexos Helps Puerto Rico Build Energy Resilience through CEWRI-HH Program Leadership

Plexos' Guaynabo-based team is delivering an extensive spectrum of infrastructure and resilience services for the  Community Energy and Water Resilience Installations – Household (CEWRI – HH) Program, including program management, administrative functions, and operational support across five offices on the island. CEWRI-HH provides households the possibility of acquiring renewable solar energy equipment, which consists of a Photovoltaic System (PVS) and a Battery Storage System (BSS) under the New Energy and the Solar Incentive Programs.

This program represents a direct investment in a self-sustaining, regenerative installation of Solar Systems that could persist and thrive through physical, economic, and social challenges after a hazardous event.

Plexos' Work for the PRDOH's Community Energy and Water Resilience Installations – Household (CEWRI – HH) Program

For every qualifying project, our team assumes responsibility for managing environmental assessments, which encompass all required historical property consultations and home appraisals. Upon the installation work's successful conclusion, our team thoroughly reviews the applicant's incentive disbursement request. This process involves an on-site inspection, a recommendation for the final disbursement amount, and the subsequent application closure.

In addition to performing project development activities, Plexos is supporting subrecipients with grant compliance and project management support. Our team has also developed a novel approach to environmental assessments that results in improved project timelines.

Value-Added Insight for Efficient Program Management

“When working with the installation companies, it's imperative that we continue to grow and maintain relationships built on communication and transparency. We have regular conversations in which I help increase their knowledge and understanding of working on federally funded projects. Building on their agency-provided training, I am open and responsive to their questions. This frequent communication helps ensure that their installation paperwork, including final invoices, is correct. It also allows them to identify where and how they can improve customer service to support positive applicant outcomes.” -- Jose Gomez, CEWRI-HH Program Manager
