Pilot Project for Sustainable Electricity Distribution (PPSELD)

This contract will establish and operate the electric utility in Caracol, Haiti under the Pilot Project for Sustainable Electricity Distribution (PPSELD).

For the past year, NRECA staff and volunteers have been focused on the CCEP to construct a distribution system to the town of Caracol and surrounding communities; PPSELD will build upon this success by operating the power plant from which CCEP derives its power and expanding the CCEP network to benefit additional communities close to Caracol.

PPSELD is a three-year undertaking to establish a self-sustaining generation-distribution utility that will expand service from the CCEP customer base to include Limonade, Terrier Rouge, and Trou du Nord that are in close proximity to Caracol.

In future years, PPSELD may expand service to additional communities if USAID and the Government of Haiti provide approval.

The project is an incredible opportunity for both NRECA International and local counterparts to create a true example of a successful electric utility in Haiti.
