The Péligre hydroelectric power plant has been shut down for nearly seven months. The Fils-Aimé government and the CPT are looking elsewhere at a time when efforts to resume operations appear to have dropped down the list of priorities.

“Today is January 5, 2026, and the 17th will mark seven months since the plant was closed,” said Jean Félix Michel, head of the union of employees of Électricité d’Haïti (ED’H). “The plant is not operational. That is 36 megawatts not being produced, unavailable to customers in the Port-au-Prince metropolitan area and part of the Central Plateau,” Pierre Michel Félix lamented, as reported by Le Nouvelliste.
