With funding from the US Trade and Development Agency and the Nathan Cummings Foundation, EarthSpark International,  Energy and Security Group, and The Haiti Energy Institute completed a countrywide market study of the potential for town-sized, solar-powered microgrids across Haiti. Following a desk study of un-electrified Haitian towns, field research was undertaken in 89 rural towns from July-October of 2015. Click here to download the full report.
