Electricity Illegal Connection

Here is a gentleman in the process of getting his own electricity by connecting to the main line.

It is estimated that the ratio of electricity consumed in Haiti that is unpaid or in another way acquired illegally by the public is among the highest in the world. Some put the rate at over 35% of the energy produced being stolen.

This is due to the lack of law enforcement in Haiti, specifically in the Capital and major cities in in the country

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.
