"Restoring the power grid in Puerto Rico was uniquely challenging, as the terrain on the Island includes steep mountains and triple-canopy jungles, among other obstacles. Transmission restoration work, including potentially the installation of new transmission towers, required helicopters. Cobra, which brought its own helicopters and pilots, was very effective at performing its work under difficult circumstances.”

— Mark Merritt, former FEMA consultant to Puerto Rico

“PREPA would often find reasons not to pay Cobra – by, for instance, delaying their own inspections of completed work – even though Cobra's PW was obligated, and funds were awaiting draw-down by PREPA.”

— Mark Merritt, former FEMA consultant to Puerto Rico 

“My impression was that Cobra generally performed good restoration work. I do not recall reports of any significant deficiencies in Cobra’s work during my time in Puerto Rico. I also found that Cobra demonstrated a strong commitment to safety,”

— Carlos Torres, Governor-appointed Power Restoration Coordinator

"I hope this is resolved fairly to a company that helped the most in the recovery.”

— José Ortiz, former PREPA CEO
