ANARSE Publishes National Electricity Sector Development Plan for Haiti
Strategic document backed by the IDB outlines six regional grids, mini-grids and expanded solar power to improve electricity access nationwide.
On Friday, October 30, 2026, the National Energy Sector Regulatory Authority (ANARSE) announced the publication of the Electricity Sector Development Plan for Haiti, according to haitilibre.com. The plan was developed under the Program for Improving Access to Electricity in Haiti (AMACEH), under the aegis of the Ministry of Public Works (MTPTC) and with financial support from the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB).
The strategic planning document presents what ANARSE describes as a structured and progressive vision for the national electricity sector, proposing technical, economic and institutional guidelines aimed at improving access to electricity, strengthening infrastructure reliability, and supporting economic and social growth.
The plan is based primarily on the development of six regional electricity grids, supplemented by mini-grids and solar home systems for isolated areas. It advocates greater integration of renewable energy — specifically solar power combined with battery storage — and an investment schedule tailored to the actual evolution of demand.
Beyond infrastructure, the document underscores the importance of strengthening the institutional and regulatory framework, improving governance, and mobilizing funding to ensure the sector's long-term sustainability. ANARSE said it is making the plan public to promote transparency and a better understanding of the proposed strategies. The 149-page document, in French, was published online.
