Jovenel Moise relying on Sigora International to electrify Haiti

Sigora's founder and CEO Andy Bindea says: "Proving this technology in Haiti basically says it's doable anywhere else in the world"

Recently, Sigora Haiti, raised $2.5 million to expand its existing grid that has been serving 1,000 accounts serving 5,000 people in Haiti, to a network that will serve tens of thousands more in solar power. Once the entire first phase of the Northwest Haiti electrification project is complete, a venture budgeted at $10 million, the micro-utility will serve 27,000 accounts and 136,000 customers.

Sigora Haiti will design, install, own and operate a system of interconnected microgrids that's designed to scale quickly and cost-competitively. The system will be built to power homes, businesses and hospitals.

At the same time, it will enable Sigora Haiti to use prepaid metering technology. Today, Sigora Haiti serves as a premier provider of pay-as-you-go private electricity in Haiti. These meters are expected to be equipped with a wireless chip with the potential to connect every customer to the internet.

One final note: In November 2015, Sigora Haiti secured the exclusive right with the government of Haiti to provide electricity for the next 25 years in Haiti's Northwest Department.
