Appointed to the Directorate General of the Electricity of Haiti (Électricité D'Haïti - EDH) Wednesday, August 15, Ms. Andress Appolon convened Friday, its first Council of Administration, during which, important resolutions have been adopted.

It was decided that :

The firm Tetra Tech, already on site in the EDH since 2011, will have the mission to improve the operations of the institution through a special committee created by the Council ;

The Broad Lines of the Action Plan for the period of the state of emergency, decreed by the Head of State [at the Council of Ministers Wednesday, August 15] will be developed and submitted to the Prime Minister this week for approval, after consultation with the Board of Directors of the EDH. Recall that at the Council of Ministers, the President Martelly did not explain that the EDH receives a subsidy of 8 billion gourdes per year, and that it can not provide electricity to the population consistently.

The eve of this Council of Administration, Ms. Andress Appolon had also held another meeting with the outgoing team, in order to ensure the continuity of operations of the institution.

The new administration of the EDH, led for the first time by a woman, takes office, at a time when the country is facing a serious energy crisis. Ms. Andress Appolon and her team intend to make every effort in order to meet the expectations of the population through the establishment of policies adapted to the realities of the Haitian energy sector.
