In an effort to decrease the constant blackout in Haiti and to put Haiti in a path of recovery and economic development, the Inter-American Development Bank has decided to give to Electricit d'Ha ti EDH , 35 million in the form of a grant.

This is what the grant from the Inter-American Development Bank is expected to do: repair the electricity infrastructure affected by the 2010 earthquake, support the rehabilitation of the P ligre hydroelectric plant, support the use of solar energy.

According to Electricite d'Haïti (EDH) an estimated 35% of its electricity distribution is not being paid for by the public. The public company has been subsidizing their electricity. The problem is worst in some areas where residents in poor neighborhoods who can't afford the high cost charged by the company resort to stealing electricity.
