Monday December 16, Kaleb Verdieu, Director of the office of Electricity of Haiti (EDH) of Petit-Goâve, accompanied among others by Coicou Jackson his Regional Director gave a press conference on the state of progress of the preliminary works the installation of generator.

In his speech, Coicou Jackson provided many explanations on the progress of the work "I am happy to inform the inhabitants of Petit-Goâve, Grand-Goâve, Paillant, Miragoâne, Aquin and Fond des Négres, that the EDH Tapion power planty, will supply electricity in a few days [...] the last time that the town of Petit-Goâve benefited from electricity, it was on August 17, 2019, with a capacity reduced by 1.5 megawatts [..] If you go to the EDH site in Morne Tapion, you will realize that [...] it is the EDH which will replace Haytrac on the Tapion site. If you pass by today, you will see 4 generators stored on the site. The old groups of the Haytrac [ https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-28311-haiti-grand-goave-blackout-a-generator-of-edh-confiscated-by-the-population.html ] have been removed from the site […] We are on schedule, work is progressing well so that the 4 generators [4.3 Mw in total] can operate from December 23, 2019 for a first test," adding that it would take another 8 megawatts for the full satisfaction of the 6 communes...

"The 4.3 megawatts represents a huge effort made by the presidency [...] we seek everyone's understanding. For now, there will be no possibility for everyone to have electricity at the same time. I would like this to be well understood by the population [...] First, two communes can be supplied and, secondly, two others. This is a palliative while waiting for EDH to be able to supply the entire network at the same time."
