This series\n is unreliable and is described below.\n\n**SOURCE AND AUTHORITY NOTE.** The national utility is EDH and the sector\nregulator is ANARSE. Neither publishes a connection-rate series that is\nextracted into this platform, so these figures come from the World Bank's\nSDG 7.1.1 electrification dataset (the ESMAP tracking exercise) via WDI.\nLabel them \"SDG 7 tracking estimate\" in prose. EDH's own customer counts\ncover grid clients only and would give a lower and differently-defined\nnumber.\n\n**Access counts a connection, not supply.** A household connected to a grid\nthat delivers four hours a day is counted as having access, as is one with a\nsolar home system. The rise in the total series therefore reflects off-grid\nsolar and mini-grid growth as much as anything EDH has built, and it is\nconsistent with the widely reported deterioration in hours of service. For\nservice quality, read the electricity tariff series and the PHARES site\nassessments rather than this indicator.\n\n**The rural series should not be read as a trend.** In the source it runs\nfrom about 19% in 2003 down to 1.2% in 2019, carries no values for 2020 to\n2022, then reports 2.9% in 2023 and 15.0% in 2024. A jump of twelve points in\none year is a change in method or in underlying survey inputs, not rural\nelectrification. The series is kept because it is the only rural figure the\ntracking dataset publishes for Haiti, and because its level carries the\ncorrect message that rural access is very low. It is excluded from the\ndefault view for this reason.\n\n**Do not difference the two measures.** Rural access is a percent of the\nrural population and total access a percent of the whole country.

Development Indicators\n\nThe World Bank's compilation of ~1,400 cross-country development\nindicators, refreshed annually (typically September). For Haiti the\nunderlying data is submitted by national authorities (IHSI, BRH, MEF)\nand harmonized by the World Bank's Haiti country unit.\n\n**CPI series** (`FP.CPI.TOTL`, `FP.CPI.TOTL.ZG`): annual consumer price\nlevel and year-on-year inflation, rebased to **2010 = 100**. Pre-2019\nhistory is spliced across IHSI's base-year change using WB's own link\nfactors, which can produce values that differ slightly from IHSI's\ndirect publication on the 2017-2018 base.\n\n**Development indicators** (GNI per capita `NY.GNP.PCAP.CD`,\nremittances `BX.TRF.PWKR.DT.GD.ZS`, FDI `BX.KLT.DINV.WD.GD.ZS`,\npoverty `SI.POV.DDAY` / `SI.POV.LMIC`): annual, calendar-year. GNI per\ncapita uses the World Bank Atlas method (a three-year exchange-rate\naverage that smooths currency swings). Remittances and FDI are reported\nas a share of GDP. Poverty headcounts are survey-based and infrequent:\nHaiti's most recent comparable figures are from 2012, so that series has\nlong gaps and should be read as a structural rather than current reading.\n\n**Data provenance**: country-submitted; WDI applies methodology\nconsistency adjustments but does not independently re-estimate.\nRevisions to prior years follow country revisions on roughly a\n6-12 month lag.\n\n\nBoth measures are pulled from the World Bank WDI API for Haiti (HTI):\n\n ACCESS_TOTAL EG.ELC.ACCS.ZS Access to electricity (% of population)\n ACCESS_RURAL EG.ELC.ACCS.RU.ZS Access to electricity, rural (% of rural population)\n\n**Provenance.** The underlying dataset is the World Bank's SDG 7.1.1\nelectrification database, assembled through ESMAP's Tracking SDG 7 exercise.\nIt pools household surveys, census rounds, utility reporting and, in recent\nvintages, satellite and off-grid market data, then fits a multi-tier model to\nproduce an annual series. It is not a utility count and not a Haitian\ngovernment publication. EDH's customer register covers grid clients only,\nwhich is a narrower concept, and ANARSE is the sector regulator; neither\nseries is extracted into this platform today.\n\n**What access means.** A household counts as having access if it can obtain\nelectricity from any source at a defined minimum service level, including\noff-grid solar home systems and mini-grids. It does not measure hours of\nsupply, voltage stability, affordability, or whether the connection is legal.\nFor Haiti this distinction is central: the total series rises steadily across\na period in which grid service demonstrably deteriorated, because off-grid\nsolar spread while EDH's delivered hours fell. Anyone using this series to\ndescribe the state of Haiti's power sector needs to say which of the two\nthings they mean.\n\n**The rural series and its break.** Haiti's rural series is volatile and\nincomplete at source: roughly 19% in 2003, a long decline to 1.2% by 2019, no\nvalues for 2016 or for 2020 to 2022, then 2.9% in 2023 and 15.0% in 2024. A\ntwelve-point single-year rise is not a plausible electrification rate; it\nreflects a revision to method or to the survey inputs behind the rural split.\nThe series is carried because it is the only published rural figure for Haiti\nin this dataset and its order of magnitude is informative, but it is excluded\nfrom the default view and no year-on-year change from it should be reported.\n\n**Denominators.** ACCESS_TOTAL is a percent of the total population,\nACCESS_RURAL a percent of the rural population. The two are not additive and\ntheir difference is not the urban-rural gap. The urban rung\n(`EG.ELC.ACCS.UR.ZS`) is carried on the `urbanization` indicator, so no\nseries appears on two indicators.\n\nAttribution: World Bank, SDG 7.1.1 Electrification Dataset (ESMAP Tracking\nSDG 7), via World Development Indicators.
