With the construction of these two solar power plants, USAID and its partners, including the IDB and Government of Haiti, are seeking to improve the economic competitiveness and sustainability of the PIC and its surrounding communes by providing a more affordable and reliable electricity service.
This large renewable solar energy program initiated by IDB, to which USAID is contributing, will finance the construction of two solar power plants inside the PIC, an 8 MW plant and a 4 MW plant, with a construction value of $23 million.
USAID Mission Director Chris Cushing remarked, “Improving infrastructure in countries like Haiti fosters stability and accelerates economic growth through job creation, allowing them to progress beyond assistance. These solar power plants will create more opportunities for the residents of Caracol and the surrounding communities.”
The construction of these solar plants will be implemented by the Ministry of Finance Technical Operating Unit (UTE/MEF), with technical support from the State energy regulator, Autorité nationale de régulation du secteur de l'énergie (ANARSE) and the Ministry of Public Works, Transport and Communication (MTPTC).
Both solar plants will be built inside the PIC on approximately 18 hectares of land already assigned for industrial use and will be connected to the existing power plant. The two solar plants will be operated and maintained by a single independent private operator.
The two solar plants will be operated and maintained by a single independent private operator. The contract for the design, installation, operation, and maintenance of the two solar power plants will be awarded by UTE/MEF through an international competitive bidding process launched in September 2020.

Photovoltaic Cell is an electronic device that captures solar energy and transforms it into electrical energy. It is made up of a semiconductor layer that has been carefully processed to transform sun energy into electrical energy. The term "photovoltaic" originates from the combination of two words: "photo," which comes from the Greek word "phos," meaning
