Envocore Tapped for Island-Wide Water Infrastructure Modernization in Puerto Rico

By MGN Editorial•September 2, 2026 at 06:00 PM

Power Sustainable portfolio company Envocore LLC has been selected to play a major role in Puerto Rico's island-wide water meter modernization program, signaling continued investment in critical utility infrastructure across the Caribbean territory.

## Envocore Selected for Puerto Rico Water Infrastructure Overhaul Power Sustainable has announced that its portfolio company, Envocore LLC, has been awarded a significant contract as part of a major island-wide water meter modernization initiative in Puerto Rico, according to a press release issued September 2, 2026. Envocore, described as a leading provider of energy-efficiency, water-infrastructure, and utility-services solutions, will take on a central role in the program, which aims to modernize water metering systems across the island. The initiative represents a broader push to upgrade aging utility infrastructure in Puerto Rico — a territory that has faced persistent challenges with its water and power systems in the years following successive hurricane seasons and long-term underinvestment. ### Strategic Significance for Caribbean Infrastructure While the contract is primarily a utility and infrastructure story, it carries relevance for the maritime and port community operating in and around Puerto Rico. Reliable water infrastructure is a foundational requirement for port operations, ship provisioning, and the broader logistics ecosystem that supports one of the Caribbean's busiest maritime hubs. San Juan remains a critical transshipment and cargo gateway for the region, and sustained investment in the island's utility systems supports the operational resilience that shipping lines, cruise operators, and freight forwarders depend upon. Envocore's selection underscores growing private-sector confidence in Puerto Rico's infrastructure recovery trajectory, backed by federal funding streams and public-private partnership frameworks that have accelerated since the island's post-hurricane reconstruction efforts. ### About the Companies Power Sustainable, headquartered in Montreal, is an asset management firm focused on sustainable infrastructure and energy investments. Envocore LLC, based in New York, specializes in delivering integrated solutions across energy efficiency, water systems, and utility services — sectors increasingly aligned with resilience and decarbonization mandates across U.S. territories and island economies. Further details on the contract scope, timeline, and total program value were not disclosed in the announcement.
