What is the Timor-Leste solar power project?
The Project involves the construction and 25-year operation of a new power plant in Manatuto, Timor-Leste, comprising a 72 MW solar power plant co-located with a 36 MW/36 MWh battery energy storage system. This will be the country’s first full-scale renewable energy IPP project.
Does improved electricity access improve development outcomes in Timor-Leste?
Overall, Timor-Leste's HDI has shown little improvement since , while electricity access doubled to 100 %. The effects of improved electricity access on development outcomes appear less than observed internationally. Fig. 3. Timor-Leste's HDI component indices –.
How much electricity does Timor-Leste use?
Timor-Leste consumes 125 GWh of electricity per annum, an average of 95 kWh per person. The country has about 270 MW of electricity capacity, 119 MW in the city of Hera. Most of the energy infrastructure was destroyed by the Indonesian militias during the East Timorese crisis.

Do Rural Households use electricity in Timor-Leste?
Stakeholder responses and anecdotal observations of rural households in Timor-Leste revealed that lighting, mobile phone charging, television, and radio dominate electricity use with limited adoption in agriculture-related activities. According to respondents, some farming groups operated small diesel generators for rice milling.
How has Timor-Leste benefited from a power purchase agreement (PPA)?
This landmark project included drafting and negotiating a power purchase agreement (PPA) and an implementation agreement with the Ministry of Finance, marking a significant step in Timor-Leste’s transition to renewable energy and the modernisation of its electricity infrastructure. José de Ponte, Partner in DLA Piper’s Finance practice, commented:
