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 plans to retire its diesel power plants in the "near-to-medium term," Ferreira said, adding that the country hopes to switch to natural gas-fired power plants and consider further renewable investments to further cut power costs.
Maintenance tends to be limited to repairing malfunctioning system components, instead of preventative care or servicing, which can reduce the effectiveness of solar energy systems and increase costs. Technicians in Timor-Leste have experience in small-scale, off-grid solar energy systems.
KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 17 (Reuters) - East Timor expects the construction of its first large solar power plant to begin in 2026 and become operational months later, the state utility's chair told Reuters, helping it slash expensive diesel imports.
