"Haiti does not face a problem of energy production," President Jovenel said. "You can buy 1000 megawatts of electricity if you want."

"The real challenge lies in distribution. The electricity grid in the metropolitan area, stretching from Cote-des-Arcadins to Leogane, was built to serve 300,000 people. Today, nearly 4 million people live in this space. 80% of these 45 circuits in this network are not working properly. That said, this network needs to be renovated."
