US logistics provider Crowley, which has traditional relations with the Puerto Rican market, has decided to enhance the resiliency of its Isla Grande logistics terminal in San Juan, the capital city of Puerto Rico, with the installation of a microgrid fueled by liquefied natural gas (LNG).
Crowley said the energy system will provide a reliable power supply tailored to support the terminal’s daily operations, such as powering its terminal equipment, refrigerated containers, and administrative and maintenance facilities.
The microgrid will produce power that is more reliable, less expensive and cleaner than power generally delivered from the public grid, according to the company’s statement.
“This LNG-fueled microgrid is a transformative investment that ensures our logistics terminal in San Juan can maintain seamless operations regardless of external conditions,” said Matt Jackson, vice president of advanced energy at Crowley. “It exemplifies our focus on delivering innovative energy solutions that enhance reliability and operational resilience for our customers and the communities we serve.”
Scheduled for completion in early 2026, the microgrid project advances Crowley’s long-term power reliability at its San Juan terminal while showcasing how its new microgrid service offering provides industrial or commercial operators with a highly resilient energy solution that delivers cost savings and a reduced carbon footprint.
