Why this matters: The lack of transparency by González Galarza’s firm affects the oversight of energy contracts in Puerto Rico, which is crucial for the island’s energy infrastructure and economy.

Juan González Galarza’s law firm serves as the primary legal consultant for the Autoridad para las Alianzas Público Privadas (Public-Private Partnerships Authority) and also advises the Autoridad de Energía Eléctrica (Electric Energy Authority) on energy law matters. In this dual role, González Galarza did not disclose information to the Autoridad de Energía Eléctrica about the problems with the Power Expectations contract.
