ITSF Country Assessment Report: Haiti
Summary: The International Tracking Standard Foundation's country assessment of Haiti, version 2.0 dated 25 November 2025. It reviews the electricity sector against the conditions for energy-attribute tracking, and situates it in the country's political and security instability. Recent, and one of the few 2025 external assessments of the Haitian power sector.
Key Findings
- The assessment describes Haiti's electricity system as fragile, fossil-fuel dominated, and severely affected by political insecurity, weak institutions, non-technical losses and fuel-transport disruption.
- Electricity access remained low and unreliable, with especially weak rural access and high transmission and distribution losses.
- Installed generation capacity was dominated by fossil and thermal plants, while hydropower supplied most renewable generation and modern renewables remained below one percent.
- EDH owned a large minority of installed capacity but generated only a small share of electricity, with independent power producers dominating generation.
- The report identifies no comprehensive domestic legal mandate for renewable certificate tracking or carbon crediting, and notes that future registries would need interoperability with international systems.
- It sees renewable-energy market potential in solar, battery storage, mini-grids and donor-backed projects for underserved communities and health facilities, while warning that violence, vandalism and regulatory capacity remain major risks.
