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.
East Timor Solar Plant: East Timor plans to retire its diesel power plants and shift to renewable energy sources, starting with the construction of its first large solar plant in 2026. The project aims to reduce expensive diesel imports and pave the way for a more sustainable energy future for the nation.
East Timor has also issued rights to mine gold to joint ventures between Timorese companies and Australian miners, and is exploring onshore natural gas in central and eastern Timor, which could further boost demand for power.
EDTL Chairman Marito Ferreira said the solar plant will help Southeast Asia's poorest nation, also known as Timor-Leste, slash expensive imports of diesel, which almost entirely fuel its power grid currently, and reduce its fiscal burden.
DLA Piper advised Eletricidade de Timor-Leste on power purchase agreement for first solar and battery storage project
Currently, Timor-Leste relies almost entirely on imported diesel fuel for its power generation, which poses significant challenges in terms of fiscal burden and greenhouse gas emissions.
