Roberto Ruiz Vargas, representing Cabo Rojo Land Acquisition, LLC and Three Rules Capital, LLC, submitted a 300-page document to the Puerto Rico Senate Committee on Innovation, Reform and Appointments outlining the utility plans for the Esencia tourism and residential project in Cabo Rojo.^[1] The filing states the development will rely on its own water sources, including wells, a reverse osmosis plant, recycled water, and rainwater harvesting, which the author claims will exceed projected demand. The plan also includes a solar microgrid of up to 68 megawatts.^[1] The read here is that the developer is seeking to operate the Esencia project with significant independence from the standard municipal grid and water supply, a move that could set a precedent for future large-scale developments in the region if the committee approves the proposal.^[1]
