6 FAQs about [Haitou Solar Power Generation Project]

What is the solar power plant capacity in Haiti?

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.

Can solar energy be used effectively in Haiti?

Solar energy can be used effectively in Haiti, 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 that solar energy will play a fundamental role in access to electricity over the next 10 to 15 years.

Why are electricity rates so high in Haiti?

Electricity rates in Haiti are higher than the average in the region due to EDH's inability to provide reliable, centrally-supplied power. This lack of reliable power continues to drive demand for alternative power solutions, such as new electrical power systems, generators, inverters, solar panels, and batteries, as well as their maintenance.

What are Haiti's potential power generating sites?

The Haitian government prioritizes the procurement of fuel to reliably supply turbines. There are plans for 10MW facilities in Port-de-Paix and Jacmel and a 5MW array in Jeremie. Grand’Anse and Nippes Departments in the southern region were also targeted for smaller power generating facilities.

Could a new solar system solve Haiti's fuel crisis?

Recognizing the vulnerabilities caused by HUM’s dependence on fuel-powered generators, the new solar system serves as a promising solution. Haiti’s current insecurity means that roads are often blocked, so accessing fuel is sometimes impossible. Other times, fuel might not be available at all or it is outrageously expensive on the black market.

How much solar energy does the Huadian haijing salt-PV complementary power station generate?

The Huadian Haijing Salt-PV Complementary Power Station, constructed over a 3294-acre (1,333-hectare) salt field with a total capacity of 1 GW, was recently connected to the grid in Tianjin, China. It is expected to generate approximately 1,500 GWh of solar energy per year, sufficient to meet the electricity demand of 1.5 million households.
