Following the signing of the contract for the construction of the Jacmel photovoltaic solar power plant at the Mont Fleury site (https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-46650-haiti-technology-construction-of-a-major-solar-power-plant-in-jacmel.html), Joseph Almathe Pierre Louis, the Minister of Public Works (MTPTC), instructed the teams to expedite the development work on certain road sections with the technical support of the Southeast Departmental Directorate (DDSE-Jacmel). This breakthrough not only benefits the energy project but also represents a major improvement in access for the local population of Mont Fleury (6th communal section of Jacmel).

It is worth noting that the Ministry of Public Works (MTPTC) is acting as the project owner and is ensuring the rigorous supervision and monitoring of the progress of the photovoltaic solar power plant, which is being built with over $17 million in funding from the World Bank through the Renewable Energy for All in Haiti (SREP) program.

The contractor, the Dominican international firm ESD Engineering Service S.R.L., is responsible for delivering a state-of-the-art, turnkey solution. The installations will include:

• A 4 MW solar power generation capacity (minimum output of 3.35 MW);

• A 6 MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) using lithium-ion technology;

• Grid expansion with the installation of approximately 4 km of low-voltage lines and 7 km of medium-voltage (23 kV) lines.

Thanks to its grid-forming technology, this power plant will guarantee the stability of the electrical grid, even in the event of a shutdown of the current thermal power plant or during periods of low sunlight.

Construction of this power plant is expected to take 13 months, from February 2026 to March 2027.
