Our award-winning Utility Owned Renewable Energy (UORE) program is progressing. We continue to fuse more green energy into the grid through rooftop solar photovoltaic systems across the islands. We lease the roof space of qualifying customers to generate solar energy. It’s a hassle-free, zero down program. We cover the investment, installation, maintenance and own the system during its lifetime.
