East Timor Cabinet Energy Storage System Project

How much does Timor-Leste project cost?

Also, since the engineering department of the “UNTL” is conducting technical research of solar power generation systems, it is possible for them to support in the system maintenance, so there will be no problem. The total project cost of “Timor-Leste” that is necessary for implementing the Project is 0.5 million yen.

Is solar power possible in Timor-Leste?

Will Timor-Leste replace oil imports with solar power?

More than 75% of oil imports in Timor-Leste are used for electricity production across the country and around 90% of the sector’s operating costs are fuel costs associated with power generation. The Government of Timor-Leste intends to replace part of this high-cost generation by more cost-efficient solar power.

How is electricity produced in Timor-Leste?

Electricity generation in Timor-Leste is state-owned. Most of the electricity is produced by diesel generators, the operation of which is subject to availability of financial resources for fuel, maintenance and staffing.
