Sogener, one of Haiti’s largest independent power producers and a founding member of the Haitian Economic Development Foundation, announced it will expand its power production capabilities with the addition of a new 10-megawatt generator. The increased capacity will come online in January.

"As Haiti continues its drive to increase its infrastructure capabilities so as to drive both doestic and international commerce, investors must be confident in the country’s ability to produce power," said CEO Jean Marie Vorbe. "At Sogener, we are proud to be an integral part of Haiti’s ongoing industrial evolution."

Vorbe added, "The additional supply represents, on average, a three-hour reduction in blackout time for Port-Au-Prince. With blackout times averaging 12 hours per day in the capital, severely impacting resident’s abilities to function, the increased capacity ostensibly reduces that time by a third."

Sogener owns and operates energy generating facilities in four different locations throughout Haiti.
