On January 15, 2026, the Haitian Ministry of Public Works (MTPTC) signed a contract with ESD Engineering Services S.R.L. for a photovoltaic solar power plant in Jacmel, funded by the World Bank with $7 million. The plant will have a capacity of 4 MW and a battery energy storage system of 6 MWh, along with 4 km of low-voltage and 7 km of medium-voltage grid expansion. The project aims to stabilize electricity supply and reduce dependence on fossil fuels, serving as a model for renewable energy in Haiti.
