Gov of Puerto Rico to cancel Whitefish Energy contract.
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-41795774
>The head of the US-controlled island's power authority said he accepted Ricardo Rossello's recommendation and intended to cancel the deal.
The contract was given to Whitefish Energy, which has little experience of work on such a scale, without a public bid process.
Several inquiries are under way.
More than 70% of people on Puerto Rico were without power as of Sunday morning - more than five weeks after the powerful hurricane devastated the power grid.
The governor said he had asked the board of governors of the Puerto Rican Electric Power Authority (Prepa) to cancel the Whitefish contract.
"There can be no distraction to alter the commitment to restore the power system as quickly as possible," he said.
In response, the Prepa Executive Director Ricardo Ramos said he was seeking the contract's cancellation.
The governor also said he had instructed Prepa to "immediately coordinate with the states of Florida and New York to reinforce brigades" that are currently rebuilding the grid on the island...

Well, since FEMA is now
Well, since FEMA is now disputing that they signed off on the contract, it's going to get very messy if Trump decides to push forward with this cronyism.

Federal agents are investigating a $300 million contract to help rebuild Puerto Rico’s power grid, The Wall Street Journal reported Monday, citing anonymous sources.
F.B.I. agents from the San Juan field office are looking into circumstances surrounding the disaster-recovery deal the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority, the public power company known as Prepa, signed with Whitefish Energy Holdings, the paper reported, citing “three people familiar with the matter.”
Gov. Ricardo A. Rosselló announced Sunday that he had decided to cancel the contract to help restore Puerto Rico’s devastated power grid, because of the controversy that had begun to detract from the work being done.
The report came on the same day that United Nations experts faulted the United States’ response to hurricane devastation on the island, calling it ineffective and lagging far behind the support provided for other storm-struck states.
More than five weeks after Hurricane Maria struck Puerto Rico with winds of up to 155 miles an hour, conditions remained “alarming” for the island’s 3.5 million people, the group of 11 United Nations independent experts said, calling for a “a speedy and well-resourced emergency response.”..

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico, Oct. 31, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Whitefish Energy Holdings today issued the following statement:
In response to Governor Rosselló's request on Sunday, PREPA and Whitefish Energy have been in discussions on the most constructive way to wind-down our work in Puerto Rico under the terms of our agreement.
The highest priority for all parties is that the work started by Whitefish Energy continue (current operations at facebook.com/whitefishenergy). Today, Whitefish Energy agreed that when our work currently underway has been completed, the work of our subcontractors who wish to remain on the island should certainly be allowed to continue under management by PREPA directly or any entity designated to manage and direct future work. Until that time, Whitefish Energy has agreed to manage the work during the wind-down process.
For over a month, through a fast-paced and challenging operational environment, Whitefish Energy has worked side-by-side with the engineering and operations team of PREPA to repair and rebuild the electric transmission system. We stand by our work and commitment to this mission and have not let the external distractions impact the pace of power restoration which is ahead of the 30 percent goal for the end of October established by Governor Rosselló. Our commitment to the people of Puerto Rico means we will use every effort to transition the processes we have built with the PREPA team and to finish tasks at hand, so that the critical repairs made since October 2, that are now coming online, can continue in a safe, orderly fashion, for the sake of the people of Puerto Rico still awaiting power.
