electrification rate (%) without electricity access. Haiti's electricity sector is reliant on imported fossil fuels and requires a major upgrade. Less than 30% of the installed capacity is producing electricity due to fuel shortages and/or lack of maintenance and repair. Technical and non-technical losses sum up to 65% of the power generated.
Haiti faces significant challenges in generating and distributing energy reliably, and lack of access to affordable and reliable power significantly hinders investment and business development. The majority of electricity is produced using imported fossil fuels.
Many rural households in Haiti face monetary poverty that limits their ability to pay for electricity. Low income levels, combined with a lack of access to regular employment and economic opportunities, also result in limited energy budgets for these households. Provide financial support to reduce the initial cost of connection.
Solar energy offers interesting prospects in Haiti, by offering energy self-sufficiency to the most isolated cities, in the absence of a power grid. The country's location in the tropics gives it very strong solar energy potential. It is believed solar energy will play a fundamental role in access to electricity over the next 10 to 15 years.
