Project Appraisal Document: Haiti Renewable Energy for All Project (Report No. PAD1704)
Summary: World Bank appraisal of the Renewable Energy for All project, aimed at expanding renewable generation and off-grid access in a country where most power is oil-based.
Key Findings
- 81 percent of EDH's generation is oil-based, mostly bought from independent power producers.
- EDH's thermal generation costs around US$0.30 per kWh, and more on isolated diesel grids.
- The project's case rests on that cost structure rather than on access alone.
- Frequently mis-cited as a 2020 document; the appraisal is dated 2017.
Full Description
World Bank Project Appraisal Document for the Haiti Renewable Energy for All project, Report No. PAD1704. Sets out the project's components, results framework and risks for expanding renewable generation and off-grid electricity access. The appraisal documents how far Haiti's power supply depends on imported oil and how high the resulting cost of generation is, which is the case for the project. Citations frequently date this work to 2020; the document itself is 2017.
