History and Structure of Governance
Chapter III of Puerto Rico General Law 17 of 2019 established the Green Energy Trust as an independent nonprofit organization. The subsequent Deed of the Trust outlines the Board of Trustees membership and leadership. According to the Deed, the Board’s Chair is the Secretary of Economic Development and Commerce of Puerto Rico or their designee.
In accordance with the Deed of the Trust, the remaining six Trustees were initially appointed by Governor Pedro Pierluisi on September 30, 2021, to staggered terms: two members for three-year terms, two members for four-year terms, and two members for five-year terms. All successor trustees, except the Chair, are to be nominated and elected by the Board of Trustees by majority vote. Successor terms are for five years. In January 2025, Governor Jenniffer Gónzalez Colón nominated the Honorable Sebastián Negrón Reichard to become Secretary of Economic Development and Commerce and Chair of the Puerto Rico Green Energy Trust.
