Monday, de facto President Jocelerme Privert, inaugurated a state-of-the-art solar power plant with a capacity of 100 Kw to permanently illuminate the Champ-de-Mars area. The implementation of this integrated high-tech system developed by the Canadian consulting engineering firm GENINOV, with a subsidiary established in Haiti since 2009, was financed by the World Bank and should serve as an experimentation center for the Energy Cell and EDH to assess the potential for development of micro-renewable energy networks across the country.
The ceremony was attended by Ministers Jacques Evelt Eveillard (Public Works) and Marc Aurele Garcia (Communication) by Claude Prepptit, Director General of the Office of Mines and Energy, the Principal Mayor of Port-au-Prince Youry Chevry and his Deputy and Pierre Bonneau, Representative of the World Bank in Haiti.
“We can not develop a country without energy” recalled the representative of World Bank. Minister Eveillard considered that the finalization of this project “is an important step in the development and strengthening of the energy sector in Haiti”, advocating for the multiplication of projects of this kind in the country in order to promote sustainable development in the sector of energy.
