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.)
Ensuring availability of these electrical resources to meet loads which are intermittent and uncertain is becoming a critical port function. It requires investment in multi-vector energy supply chains, energy storage in ports and their associated energy management systems.
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.
ESSOP has explored two ways in which ports can minimize their energy costs by using energy storage: • Optimising how to use PV solar generation to offset grid electricity. The wholesale price of energy varies every half-hour, and on a time-of-day tariff this variation is passed onto users.
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.
In many cases, however, battery storage will be beneficial: allowing the port to optimize its procurement of electricity under a time-of-day tariff, to reduce its peak load on the grid connection and to optimise use of on-site renewable generation, notably PV solar.

Haiti
Haiti''s largest electricity grid is the Port-au-Prince metropolitan grid. Some towns, such as Fort-Liberté in the northeast, have an electricity distribution network, but have been effectively abandoned by the national utility EDH. Users thus have to rely entirely on small, privately owned generators to meet their electricity demand.
