Guinea - Implementation of the National Dispatching
The general objective of this project is the monitoring and control of costs, of the quality and the time schedule of implementation works. The project includes all site works for the implementation of the National Dispatching Centre. Following EDG's long-term master plan, the National Dispatching Centre shall integrate transmission lines of the 60 and 110 kV level. The project has been interrupted due to the Ebola epidemic and new financing.

Haiti - Construction of a Modern Dispatching
The present project constitutes Component 3 of the new investment programme for the energy sector in Haiti (PRELEN) which is supported by the major donors active in the sector. It aims at assisting EDH in the technical field, more specifically in the construction of a modern dispatching.
The existing dispatching was built in 1981 and manages the 115 and 69 kV levels on the generation and transmission side and the 12.47 kV level on the distribution side. The monitoring and dispatching of the network presently is done through permanent surveillance of the system frequency and by means of radio communication with the operators of the substations and the power plants.
