The National Regulatory Authority of the Energy Sector (ANARSE), a state body created by Decree on February 3, 2016, launches a Pre-Qualification Notice and invites private developers to express their interest in developing and operating mini and micro-networks based on renewable or hybrid energies.

Scenario :

The energy sector in Haiti is characterized by limited access to electricity. It is estimated that those who benefit from electricity in Haiti represent only one third (1/3) of the population. In rural areas, only five percent (5%) of households enjoy electricity. Electricity services are concentrated mainly in Port-au-Prince

The Haitian Government has decided to address this energy crisis. Achieving this result requires interventions in existing and non-existing grids. It is thus planned the establishment of mini and micro-networks that will operate primarily from renewable energy resources (solar, wind, hydro, biomass) in some cities to not only provide electricity necessary for domestic needs but also to promote economic activities and promote the emergence of micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs).

he Government wants to support the expansion of these models of mini and micro-grids, according to the current application scheme - public-private partnerships between municipalities and private operators - which has proved its worth. The Government intends to support such initiatives to ensure their long-term viability. It also intends to put in place the necessary conditions and incentives to promote private investment in renewable mini-grids and micro-grids. Priority will be given to areas not served by the State Electricity of Haiti (EDH) or powered from power plants providing electrical service limited to the population. These systems can be combined with renewable energy and privately operated by the private sector in a cost-effective manner.

Interested companies must provide information indicating that they possess the required technical and financial qualifications and relevant experience to perform these services.
