The Communications Department of Électricité d’Haïti (EDH) has issued a public notice regarding the severe electricity rationing currently affecting the Port-au-Prince metropolitan area. The crisis stems from multiple factors, including the unscheduled shutdown of the Péligre Hydroelectric Plant and the sabotage of five pylons on the 115 kV high-voltage transmission line on June 17th. Additionally, four substations have been vandalized and looted by bandits, rendering them completely inoperable. Compounding the issue, E-Power, a key electricity provider, is grappling with technical difficulties and can only supply one-third of its production capacity, less than 10 megawatts. These unforeseen events have necessitated major repairs, extensive logistical mobilization, and time to devise appropriate solutions. EDH is working tirelessly to restore normal service but is currently operating based on limited production capacity. The General Directorate has apologized for the situation and urged customers and the public to remain calm, patient, and understanding until electricity distribution is fully restored.
