In Puerto Rico, launching a cogeneration (CHP) project requires obtaining a series of permits. The main one is the REA (Recomendación de Evaluación Ambiental), a preliminary permit that provides a technical recommendation from the competent agencies based on an environmental impact assessment of the project.
