This bill creates a task force within the Executive Office of the President to address Puerto Rico's energy generation crisis by improving coordination among federal and local agencies. The task force will include representatives from the Department of Energy, Federal Emergency Management Agency, Army Corps of Engineers, Puerto Rico's Energy Office, and key energy sector entities including the Puerto Rico Energy Bureau, LUMA Energy, and Genera PR. The group must meet at least monthly to identify energy problems, develop solutions, and ensure efficient collaboration across all involved organizations. The task force head will submit progress reports to Congress every six months, starting within 90 days of the bill's enactment, detailing identified problems, proposed solutions, implementation timelines, and responsible parties. The bill does not specify new federal funding but aims to streamline existing resources and coordination to address Puerto Rico's ongoing power generation challenges.
