Jenniffer González Colón will demand accounts and does not rule out striking down the 3PPO contract
On August 21, 2026, NotiCel quotes Governor Jenniffer González Colón on the frustrated temporary-generation contract. She speaks of a contract that exceeds $5,800 million. She says she will demand accounts from the AEE, the APP, and Osvaldo Carlo Linares. She does not rule out canceling the ReComS contract. She insists the process belongs to the APP, not to La Fortaleza, and that La Fortaleza was left on the sidelines.
The figure she uses in this outlet — exceeds $5,800 million — is not the same wording as other notes. On August 14, the Fiscal Oversight Board published $5.9 billion. That same 21st, El Nuevo Día, with the Proskauer letter, put $5,887 million. On the 24th, Pablo José Hernández Rivera's letter to the Department of Energy, according to El Nuevo Día, alluded to $5,900 million. The four are not rounded into one. What remains is the figure NotiCel attributes to Jenniffer González Colón this day.
Demanding accounts is not, in the note, the same as having canceled. Mary Carmen Zapata Acosta, according to El Nuevo Día on August 21, had already canceled on the 18th. Governor Jenniffer González Colón, in NotiCel, does not rule out striking the contract down and names ReComS. This magazine does not fuse those acts into a single verb. It leaves the August 18 cancellation in the Proskauer note and the threat to strike it down, plus the summons of Osvaldo Carlo Linares, in this one.
On August 13, El Nuevo Día had quoted Jenniffer González Colón before the Board's vote: if it can be canceled, let it be canceled. There the contract was about $5,887 million and ten years. Eight days later, with the revocation already announced by the Board on the 14th, NotiCel's angle is another: La Fortaleza on the sidelines, accounts to be demanded, ReComS in the air. The arc is the same mega contract; the dates are not crushed together.
There is no list of charges against Osvaldo Carlo Linares in this piece, and no text of the summons. There are the names the outlet printed and the amount Governor Jenniffer González Colón used. The 3PPO in the headline is the public-private partnership office, not a verdict. A reader who wants her full remarks has NotiCel's URL.
