Energy technology company ZOLA Electric announced the partnership with local renewable energy pioneer Haiti Green Solutions for the deployment of its flagship energy technology platform to help address the energy crisis in the country, where the vast majority of its 12-million population lack access to reliable and affordable energy. The launch in Haiti is also ZOLA''s first time tapping into the North American market.
ZOLA''s energy technology platform enables community-level electrification through combinations of tailor-made hardware and software solutions, providing both residential and business communities with reliable, affordable and clean energy.
In addition, by facilitating localized solar energy production and providing smart technology with remote management tools, ZOLA empowers Haiti Green Solutions to build out a network of distributed renewable energy devices and manage that network in a centralized fashion. More importantly, as a whole, it contributes to energy independence for the country.
"ZOLA is proud to be driving energy equality in Haiti at this challenging time and we are so proud to be partnering with Haiti Green Solutions who are the true heroes in this story, building out a Haitian-owned and managed energy network under the most extreme conditions," said Bill Lenihan, CEO of ZOLA Electric.
The project demonstrates why countries need to locally produce their energy, be it solar energy or other renewable energy sources, while investing in a sustainable energy architecture distributed and built by local players.
The domestic market in Haiti for reliable clean energy systems is largely untapped, with electricity demand expected to increase by 50% by 2030. The island''s tropical climate makes it an ideal location for solar deployment.

Earthspark, a renewable energy NGO, has expanded Haiti''s first pre-pay solar micro grid in the town of Les Anglais. It has a 90 kW solar PV array which is enough to provide clean, reliable power to 430 households and businesses. Earthspark will hold two launch events – one on June 1st in Les Anglais and a fundraiser on June 11th in Washington DC. More information is attached and below.
— This blog touches on Okra Solar''s 300 household project in rural Haiti, looking into the speed of installation, cost-per-connection and the future of our work within the nation. We''ll be publishing a detailed case study once substantial data from the site has been collected – watch this space!
According to IDB, based on Haiti''s existing rate of electrification, the country will not achieve universal electrification until 2150. Even those fortunate enough to receive electricity have sporadic and unreliable access at best.
Moreover, the country remains the poorest nation in the Latin America and Caribbean region and scores in the bottom 20 countries on the UN human development index. Historically, energy access projects have struggled to deploy in Haiti due to widespread social unrest and political challenges, which was greatly aggravated by Covid-19.
In late April 2022, with the support of Haiti''s Off-Grid Electrification Fund (OGEF), the project expanded to 300 homes. The expansion is the first stage of a broader electrification effort to energise 5,000 households in rural Haiti with Okra''s mesh-grid technology.
The community is 122 kilometres north of the nation''s capital, Port-au-Prince, and 5 kilometres from the closest grid. The majority of adults earn income from growing and selling rice and vegetables.
