Although Haiti is a basket case, I know a nuclear sub once provided enough power to light off a steam plant on the island of Oahu back in the days before they had diesel generation plants. They had a cascade failure of their steam generation plants and everything went down.
One of my instructors in EE classes that worked for GE helped them figure out how to do it.

That is fine if the distribution lines are still up. Gee we could have parked ten Nuke subs offshore in Gulfport, Ms and not one watt would have reached me!
Took weeks to get the lines back up!
