May 16 (Reuters) - The United States has issued emergency orders to address "critical grid security issues and improve grid resiliency" in Puerto Rico, the Energy Department said in a statement on Friday.
The DOE also said it would review $365 million in funding from the Puerto Rico Energy Resilience Fund to make sure all assistance "is used to support practical fixes to the grid and benefits all residents of Puerto Rico."
The orders will unlock emergency protocols to address immediate programs, according to the statement.
