Haiti - Energy : First step towards the grid interconnection on the island of Hispaniola
Tuesday, René Jean Jumeau, Minister Delegate to the Prime Minister of Haiti, responsible for energy security igned in Santo Domingo, an agreement with the Dominican Enrique Ramirez, Director General of the National Energy Commission (CNE) aimed at creating a sub Energy Commission, within the Joint Bilateral Commission (CMB), to work on issues related to electricity.

After several years of discussions, the Dominican Republic and Haiti, crosses Tuesday, the first step of a long series, to interconnect their grids in order to increase energy security and create a market for the activities of production and distribution for both Nations. While recognizing the problems of electricity of each country, Ramirez and Jumeau estimates that there are not insufficient grounds for doing nothing.

It is an agreement to prepare an agreement, said the Minister Jumeau, which indicated that progress will depend on the precise definition of the project, access to funding, and the state of technical, commercial and social relations of the two countries.

"One of the advantages that bring the interconnection is energy security. If a problem occurs in one country, the energy service can be supplied by the other," explained Enrique Ramirez.

For his part, Jean-Jumeau stressed the importance of developing relations in the field of energy, to "build a future together" without however, specify whether as part of a future agreement, Haiti would buy electricity in the Dominican Republic.

Given the imbalance in the production of electricity between the two Nations, about 3,000 MW produced in the Dominican Republic, capacity that continues to grow with the addition of new plants and less than 400 MW for Haiti, there is no need to think long to understand who will help the other country in case of difficulties and benefit, in the event of a future agreement.
