The incumbent, who led EDH in the 1990s, assured Radio Metropol that this strategy could give convincing results within two years and prevent the bankruptcy of the public company.
According to the engineer, more than a billion dollars are needed to reactivate the entity, and the state does not have the resources.
Bradl realized that current production of EDH is minimal in relation to demand, as thermal power plants cannot operate due to fuel shortages while the Péligre hydroelectric power station is idle due to drought.
“Only E-Power supplies the network with 30 megawatts,” the minister said, promising a slight improvement in the next two weeks with the resumption of the Carrefour station.
Since the beginning of February, Haiti has suffered severe rationing in electricity supplies and the company explained that severe drought is keeping dam levels to a minimum, affecting generation.
Last week, EDH deplored the vandalistic attacks targeting the Carrefour Foyle substation that left facilities idle, affecting the neighborhoods of Carrefour Foyle, Savanne-Pistache, Daiket, Dalys Road, Rue Capua, Place Jérémie, Magloire Ambroise, Rue N, Torgo, Bacote and Debussy. .
However, the problem is not recent because in recent decades many officials have considered human rights education to be a burden on the state, since it provides services only to about 40 percent of the population and presents collection irregularities.
And this despite the fact that only one in three Haitians has access to electricity for a few hours a day, and the service is one of the most expensive in the region.
