We’re banking on reliable,
cleaner energy with Banco Popular
LNG Case Study
Fueling every financial transaction with positive energy
Over the past 132 years, Banco Popular has become a bedrock of Puerto Rico’s financial landscape. As the island’s largest bank— with the most extensive network of branches and ATMs— it plays a vital role in keeping the community connected and economically active.
But frequent disruptions to the island’s electric grid posed a serious risk to the bank’s ability to deliver uninterrupted service, especially as it continues to modernize and expand.
To protect its operations and uphold its long-standing commitment to sustainability, Banco Popular sought an energy solution that was clean, reliable, and resilient. That’s where we came in.
We partnered with Banco Popular to design, procure, implement, and operate a cutting-edge regasification facility that ensures a daily supply of nearly 120,000 gallons of liquefied natural gas (LNG). The fully integrated system powers the bank’s data processing centers, ATM network communications, call centers, and mobile transaction services— ensuring service continuity even when the grid goes down.
In addition to reducing fuel costs by 30%— equating to approximately $1million in annual savings— the system reduces CO₂ emissions by 27%, the equivalent of planting 30,000 trees or taking 415 cars off the road every year.
By strengthening its energy infrastructure and embracing cleaner fuel, Banco Popular is saving money, lowering its carbon footprint, and setting a bold example for energy resilience in Puerto Rico. Because for this financial leader, sustainability isn’t just a value. It’s a smart investment that’s paying dividends for a brighter future.
