KEY DETAILS

The shelter accommodated 79 residents (48 women and 31 children) in 2024 and provided assistance to more than 5,000 vulnerable community members that same year. The new system is expected to help the shelter save around $700 each month. The partnership between Wood Mackenzie and Let’s Share the Sun Foundation began in 2022. From 2023 to 2026, the partnership has delivered solar power and storage solutions to the domestic violence shelter each year. Wood Mackenzie’s involvement reflects the goals of its internal Thrive program. This year marks the fifth time a global delegation of Wood Mackenzie employees has traveled to Puerto Rico to participate in solar projects. The broader partnership has led to the installation of hundreds of solar panels and numerous energy storage systems to support nearly 50 homes with medically vulnerable residents.
