The Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority’s contract with Whitefish Energy for the major rebuilding project has come under fire. The small company’s home base is in the Montana hometown of U.S. Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke.
“In the light of the information that has transpired, we ask the Board of Governors of @ AEEONLINE to cancel the agreement of Whitefish Energy,” Rosello tweeted.
