Referred to the House Committee on Natural Resources.
This resolution expresses congressional support for Puerto Rico and calls on the federal government to speed up efforts to rebuild the island's electrical grid. The measure highlights that Puerto Rico's 3 million residents continue to suffer from frequent power outages, unreliable service, and high energy costs since Hurricane Maria struck in 2017, which is harming public health, safety, and economic development. Although Congress has appropriated billions of dollars for grid reconstruction, the resolution notes that only a small portion has been spent due to workforce shortages, supply chain problems, and regulatory obstacles. The resolution commits the House to supporting Puerto Rico's recovery and urges the President and federal agencies to take immediate action to address the electrical grid crisis and build a more resilient system, though it does not specify additional funding amounts or timelines beyond calling for expedited action.
