The fuel mix in PR is 98% oil, 2% hydro. I am not sure of the Virgin Islands fuel mix. Both territories passed net metring laws not too long ago and they are wrking to get these programs in place. The Virgin Islands is currently reviewing proposals for renewable energy. They are in a mad rush to get out of oil since no one in the islands can affort the cost.<br>

Hope this helps.<br>

their methodology.

Subject: [GHG Network] Electricity emission factors for US territories
Hi,
Does anyone have an good source for regional electricity GHG emissions
factors (MTCO2e/MWh) for US territories including:
Puerto Rico
U.S. Virgin Islands
American Samoa
Guam
Northern Mariana Islands
Marshall Islands
Wake Island
Federated States of Micronesia
Palau
These locations are not found within EPA's eGRID subregions nor are
they listed in IEA's "CO2 Emissions from Fuel Combustion 1971-2004".
I appreciate any suggestions!
Best,
Derek Supple
