« À moins de sécher la mer, Esencia avance » : cinq axes et ~497,7 million $ de crédits
On August 31, 2026, NewsPR previewed the proponent’s Senate appearance with a ~30-page brief and more than 300 pages of exhibits. It lays five axes: Location Consultation approved and not timely challenged; no AAA/PREPA connection; own sources sufficient; initial private capital; and — per the proponent — no written opposition in the administrative record despite hearing remarks.
Master plan: 1,549 cuerdas; 1,664 units (530 hotel / 1,134 residences); 75% preserved. Potable demand ~1.25 MGD; irrigation with recycling and rain; retention lagoons ~75 million gallons. On incentives, the decree contemplates about $497.7 million in credits over six phases and requires 950 jobs; strictly private residences do not generate those credits, and the claim needs Tourism certification and demonstrated operation.
Alleged total investment ~$2,600 million; internal study ~17,000 jobs. Estimated credit ≠ disbursement; tourism decree ≠ building permit or franchised water. Primary: NewsPR 31 Aug 2026.
