Puerto Rico

Puerto Rico, a Caribbean island and unincorporated U.S. territory, utilizes power plugs of Type A and Type B, which are standard in North America. The island operates on a voltage of 120V and a frequency of 60Hz, consistent with U.S. electrical standards. Major sources of power generation include oil, natural gas, and an increasing share of renewable energy such as solar and wind. The power grid has faced challenges in recent years, particularly after the devastation of Hurricane Maria in 2017, which severely damaged infrastructure. Efforts to modernize the grid and improve reliability are ongoing, with a focus on resilience and sustainability. While the power system has shown improvements, it still experiences occasional outages, particularly during extreme weather events.
