On Tuesday, the state-owned energy company Electricite d'Haiti (EDH) reported that the operation of Haiti's largest hydroelectric power plant had completely stopped due to mass protests.
The decline in electricity production began on Monday when protesters seized the plant, demanding fair distribution of electricity in other parts of the country, not just in the capital Port-au-Prince. As the capital's residents are forced to use diesel generators and solar panels, they are facing an energy crisis.
