For former Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority (AEE, by its Spanish acronym) executive director Mary Carmen Zapata, the decision by Energy Czar Josué Colón not to alert her to the first signs of irregularities surrounding the Power Expectations agreement was “arbitrary.” In her view, the decision stemmed from the perception that raising concerns would have halted the power generation project while allegations against the contractor—which later escalated to claims of fraud—were being investigated.
