Elon Musk: Tesla can help fix Puerto Rico’s ruined electrical grid

Billionaire innovator Elon Musk is pledging to meet with Puerto Rico’s governor to discuss how he could help rebuild the island’s ruined electrical grid with reliable renewable energy.

After Hurricane Maria destroyed the U.S. territory’s electricity distribution network, leaving millions of residents without power for months, the Tesla CEO said on Twitter that his company could intervene.

Tesla’s strategy involves pairing large batteries with solar panels and solar roof tiles, providing an off-the-grid energy solution that keeps the lights on without the help of fossil fuels. The company’s SolarCity division handles the installation and sales.
