The Haitian government is foregoing the collection of 200 million gourdes in taxes, duties, and fees on solar panels, batteries, and inverters as part of its energy transition efforts. The decision, already announced by Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aimé during the celebration of World Environment Day, will be formalized in the revised 2025–2026 budget, which is expected to be published shortly in Le Moniteur, Minister of Economy and Finance Serge Collin told Le Nouvelliste in an interview on Saturday, June 6, 2026.

“Fossil energy costs more every year on a global scale. Consequently, all countries must begin the energy transition in order to reduce, on the one hand, their carbon footprint and its negative impact on the environment, and on the other hand, control the expenses associated with fossil fuel consumption,” he explained, emphasizing that this measure—the energy transition—had been announced at the same time as the upward revision of fuel prices at the pump.
