The Puerto Rico Energy Bureau (NEPR) of the Public Service Regulatory Board ordered the Electric Power Authority (PREPA) and Genera PR to turn over invoices, proof of payment and documents on credits and adjustments for three natural gas supply contracts with NFEnergía LLC. The request is part of an audit examining the supplier’s costs, meant to prevent consumers from absorbing charges attributable to the supplier’s breaches.
The information is due by 5:00 PM on October 8, 2026. The Resolution and Order states that the evaluation aims to determine the reasonableness of the amounts claimed and paid, identify responsibilities and examine the regulatory and contractual remedies available so that costs attributable to supplier noncompliance are not improperly passed on to PREPA, the electric system or consumers.
The request covers the contract for San Juan units 5 and 6, the contract for the temporary generation units at Palo Seco and San Juan, and the so-called Multi-Site contract. For San Juan 5 and 6, the Bureau requires information from July 1, 2023 through September 30, 2026. For the other two contracts, the periods start with actual supply and end September 30, 2026, as applicable.
PREPA and Genera must document the gas quantities requested from the supplier, changes to those requests and the responses received. They must also identify fuel charges, requested quantities that were not consumed, additional charges and credits included in the invoices. Evidence of each payment is required, with its date, amount and corresponding invoice.
If an invoice was unpaid or partially paid, they must report the outstanding balance and explain why.
