Battery Energy Storage System to maximize the use of surplus energy from a solar photovoltaic plant located in the Caracol Industrial Park of Haiti.

The investment grant HA-G1048 ("the project") builds upon the program 4900/GR-HA and GRT/CF-17708-HA ("Improving Electricity Access in Haiti"). The general objective of that program is to increase reliable electricity access in Haiti that promotes economic development and to strengthen electricity sector governance. The program will finance a hybrid power system at the PIC incorporating one 8 MW and one 4 MW Solar Power Plants (SPP) to reduce energy costs. The objective of the project HA-G1048 is to maximize the use of the energy produced by the 8-MWp solar photovoltaic plant (SPP) to further reduce the use of thermal power, by implementing a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) at the PIC.
