In July 2020, the government announced plans to add 190 MW of generating capacity to Port-au-Prince, including 60MW of thermal power facilities. The largest planned project was a 55MW (60MW installed) fuel-flexible plant. (Note: The exact amount of capacity that will be operational in 2020 is not explicitly stated in the passage, but the announced capacity is 190 MW.)
In 2022, grid instability and a lack of available electricity led to EDH (Electricite d’Haiti, the national electric utility) announcing that it could only supply 4 to 6 hours of electricity a day to its customers in the Port-au-Prince metropolitan area and was implementing power rotations for distribution.
With the construction of these two solar power plants, USAID and its partners, including the IDB and Government of Haiti, are seeking to improve the economic competitiveness and sustainability of the PIC and its surrounding communes by providing a more affordable and reliable electricity service.
The solar power plant in Haiti has a capacity of 1.2 MWp. It is located in the Commune of Jacmel, South-East Department, and is connected to the regional electricity network of Jacmel.
Peligre is a critical infrastructure in Port-au-Prince because E-power, the only other metropolitan electricity producer, is reliant on Peligre’s operations. Therefore, any disruption to Peligre's operations could significantly impact Port-au-Prince's electricity production.
This solar power plant will improve access to electricity services for tenants at the Caracol Industrial Park (PIC) and 14,000 residential customers in the surrounding communities and will lower overall electricity costs.
