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.
Through research and stakeholder engagement, USAID and NREL published a framework to adapt agrivoltaic solutions for minigrid contexts in Haiti. These solutions aim to boost energy production, thereby addressing energy poverty, and increase agricultural yields, thereby addressing food insecurity.
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.
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."
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.
Haiti enjoys abundant sunlight throughout the year, making it an excellent candidate for solar power systems.
