EcoEléctrica is an energy company based in Peñuelas, Puerto Rico, specializing in the Puerto Rican market. Since the early 2000s, it has maintained exclusive authorization to import liquefied natural gas (LNG) into Puerto Rico. The principal investor in the firm is GasNatural Fenosa.
In June 2008, EcoEléctrica initiated an environmental impact study focused on expanding its LNG terminal infrastructure, which included plans to incorporate natural gas pipeline systems.
The enterprise manages an LNG regasification facility located in Punta Guayanilla, Peñuelas, featuring a storage capacity of 160,000 cubic meters. Electricity produced by EcoEléctrica is delivered to the grid operated by LUMA Energy. Additionally, steam generated from waste heat drives a Toshiba-manufactured steam turbine and facilitates operations at a desalination plant.
