FISCAL YEAR 2012-2013 PROPOSED BUDGET
The proposed consolidated budget for fiscal year 2012-2013 amounts to $4,513,512,000. This amount includes $4,208,454,000 in Revenues from Internal Sources, $5,058,000 from Other Income and $300,000,000 from loans and bond issuance.
Operational expenses reflect a decrease of $134,804,000 when compared to funds assigned in fiscal year 2011-2012 due to changes in fuel costs projections.
Resources from Revenues from Internal Sources are generated from the sale of energy and will be used for operational expenses, the purchase of fuel and capital improvements.
Other income wil be used for operational expenses, such as: payroll and related expenses, purchased services, office supplies and other materials.
Resources from Loans and Bond Issuance will provide funding for capital improvements in the production, transmission and distribution of energy and will allow the Authority to expand and rehabilitate the electric system; and transmission and distribution system. Additional resources are included to refurbish buildings, acquire equipment and improve the water distribution systems.
The proposed budget will allow the Authority to continue to search and implement alternative fuel sources to reduce oil dependency and lower the cost of electricity. Examples of this type of initiative include: Bio-mass, Wind and Solar Energy (Renewable Energy), South Coast Power Station, San Juan Power Station, Palo Seco Power Station, Aguirre Power Station, Cambalache and the "Via Verde" natural gas pipe.
