As an island nation with an evolving yet vulnerable power grid, Haiti must strategically integrate resilience into its energy system planning. Leveraging investments in renewables, distributed energy resources, and energy storage is key to improving the resiliency and security of Haiti's power system and electricity supply.
In parallel with other efforts like minigrid development and national grid planning, off-grid solar also has the potential to play an important role in advancing Haiti's energy access. As the name suggests, off-grid solar systems operate independently from the traditional electricity grid.
These trainings will be the foundation for future modeling efforts related to Haiti's energy master plan. Minigrids offer one promising solution for improving Haiti's energy access and resilience. These small-scale localized power networks can provide reliable electricity for Haiti's remote and underserved areas.
About 49% of the population of Haiti had access to electricity as of 2022. In rural areas, that number is closer to 2%, and while 80% of Haiti's urban areas have access to electricity, that access may not be reliable. "Even when a household is connected to the power grid, they might only have power for three to eight hours a day."
Earlier this year, Haiti launched its second solar microgrid in the south of the country. The microgrid was created by US-based EarthSpark International in collaboration with Enèji Pwòp, Haiti’s in-country social enterprise arm, with plans to create 22 additional grids over the next four years.
Haiti’s recent battles to modernise its energy sector serve as a stark lesson for how fraught the business of energy transition can be. In the wake of the scandal, the struggle to provide Haiti’s 11 million people with reliable energy – and the desire to attract foreign investment to do so – has taken on an evermore politically charged hue.
