Power on the island

Gonave needs to have dedicated power that is on the island.  Given the position of Haiti, it is hit constantly by sun and wind.  While renewable energy is one aspect, the island needs to build a strong coal or natural gas power plant. 

I own my own brewery, and with a brewery, you need plenty of water and power.  These are two things that Gonave and most of Haiti lack.  If I were to locate my brewery to the island certain requirements would have to be met before I would be able to move it there. 

My thoughts are a 10 MW power plant.  This would be a basic coal or natural gas power plant that could be built in a year.  The plant would have to be expandable, but can be adjusted over time.  Also build a solar farm in several phases.  The overall project could cover 100 acres and produce several MW of power per year.  Finally building a Wind Farm.  The trade winds scream over Haiti daily, and establishing a small wind farm of several wind turbines would be key. 

These different types of power systems will diversify the islands needs for electrical power, and can be used as a way of getting factories to locate to the island.

Given my own brewery, and the fact that power is critical a stable source of energy will allow my company to locate to Gonave.  This would then provide many jobs for the local people and will allow trade and commerce on the island as the beer would be exported to different countries.  When making beer you need plenty of power to first start the process of heating the malt, and then you need plenty of power for several weeks for conditioning the beer when it is refridgerated.

Having a solid plan of building phased in electricity on the island will help move the island economy forward.
