At the second Council of Government, held Wednesday, June 6 to the Primature, he engineer Garry Valdemar, Director General of Electricity of Haiti (EDH) presented a state of the situation and emphasized on the necessity for the Haitian government, to find an effective formula to encourage subscribers to pay their bills regularly. He announced new projects to improve the power grid damaged by natural and human factors.

"...it is necessary that we enter enough money to make the maintenance operations and the development of grid. The metropolitan network that we have was renovated in the mid-80 [...] which means that we currently have poles that are rotten, cables that are not in condition, this is what makes the supply can never be continuous [...] we have not the capacity to transmit electricity to transport it and distribute it properly...

[...] At the production level, we have a project to rehabilitate the central of Péligre, we have already signed the contract but the work has not started yet. Work will probably start in September [...] the firm Alstom-Comelex who win the tender makes administrative formalities with the lenders [...] they make recruitment for the site also.

I talked to you of the rehabilitation of 3 circuits that are makes at the level of Pétion ville [...] on the other hand, there are major problems to the Central of Carrefour [an EDH plant] who has a group of 10 Mw down. We have disbursed the funds and repairs are currently underway, by August, we think back 6 Mw power on the grid..."
