Since May 13, 2025, Electricity of Haiti (EDH) has been completely unable to generate power due to a violent disruption at the Péligre Hydroelectric Plant. In an official statement, the institution reported that “electric production has been reduced to ZERO”—a first in its recent history.
EDH denounced what it called an illegal invasion of the plant, labeling the act as “heinous” and pointing out that it has plunged previously serviced areas into darkness. The incident comes amid a broader climate of security and institutional instability in the country.
The lack of any clear demands has further complicated the situation. “It’s total confusion in a national context already defined by chaos and disorder,” the statement reads, highlighting the impunity surrounding the sabotage.
The institution warned of the economic consequences of such actions, emphasizing that its equipment is “expensive and difficult to repair, maintain, or replace.” It lamented that these acts serve no public interest and instead worsen the nation’s energy crisis.
Finally, EDH called on authorities to launch a swift investigation and bolster security at Péligre, describing the plant as a “national asset, a structure as vital as it is strategic for the Haitian state.” The company assured its subscribers that it is ready to resume service as soon as “security conditions are restored.”
