The document discusses a strategy to monetize a property in Santa Cruz, Puerto Rico through the development of a solar photovoltaic (PV) project. It proposes marketing the property to solar developers and energy companies to leverage its value for renewable energy. The target price for the property is $40 million. Westfield Energy will act as a consultant and broker, with the goal of negotiating a sale above $40 million and earning a fee from the sale. If successful, it would help increase renewable energy production in Puerto Rico.

2. RENEWABLE ENERGY
• Increasing oil prices have driven PREPA’s
rates to double that of the US average rate
of 11 cents per kWh
•PREPA’s current system is oil reliant
•In order to address this, PREPA has a plan
to either convert its plants to dual fuel or
to source non-oil reliant PPAs
•PREPA plans to increase its renewable
energy from 1% of its portfolio in 2012 to
16% by 2016

3. PHOTOVOLTAIC SOLAR (PV)
• Photovoltaic (PV) systems help the
environment by producing clean,
renewable energy that replaces energy
produced by power plants that burn coal,
oil, and natural gas.
• The amount of solar energy available on
earth for PV power is 10,000 times greater
than the total world energy use

9. EXISTING POWER INFRASTRUCTURE
In 2011, 68 percent of Puerto Rico’s
electricity came from petroleum, 16 percent
from natural gas, 15 percent from coal, and
1 percent from hydroelectric power.
Puerto Rico has adopted a Renewable
Portfolio Standard requiring 20 percent of
net electricity sales to come from
renewable energy resources by 2035.
The existing power system in Puerto Rico
has an installed capacity of approximately
5,830 MWs and a peak load of about
3,350 MW.
