Santa Isabel

Santa Isabel is a municipality on the southern coast of Puerto Rico that hosts a major wind energy facility. The installation uses modern turbines to generate electricity while operating on agricultural land that continues to support farming nearby.

The wind energy facility was completed in 2012, marking a turning point for power generation on the island. This project launched Puerto Rico's transition toward renewable energy sources at an industrial scale.

The facility sits in a rural area and is visible from nearby public roads. Visitors can view the turbines from a distance, but should know this is an active industrial site that the public cannot enter.

The turbines operate with focus on peak electricity demand hours, providing steady power throughout the day. This strategic placement takes advantage of the local wind patterns that make the location ideal for consistent energy capture.
