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.
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 April 2023, EDH workers at the Peligre hydroelectric dam went on a three-week strike over five months of unpaid salary arrears, resulting in a Port-au-Prince wide blackout.
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.
