A $300 million contract recently awarded to a small Montana electrical company is threatening to become a big headache for the Trump administration.
Whitefish Energy, based in tiny Whitefish, Montana, had two full-time employees on Sept. 20, the day Hurricane Maria devastated Puerto Rico and destroyed much of the island's electrical grid.
But barely a month after the storm, on Oct. 19, Whitefish Energy announced that it had won a contract from the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority (PREPA) to rebuild the island's electrical system.
The company claims that it won the contract, worth $300 million, in part due to its expertise in working on difficult terrain. It also said its business model is designed to rapidly scale up its workforce with subcontractors.
