What is the current status of electricity in Timor-Leste?Currently, only 20% of households in Timor-Leste have access to electricity. The Government plans to address this situation in the coming decade with a sustained program of rural electrification.
Why should Timor-Leste invest in solar & storage infrastructure?José added: “The investment in Timor-Leste’s solar and storage infrastructure is transformative. It will help reduce dependence on fossil fuels while improving grid stability and energy access across the country”. José de Ponte was supported by special counsel Marnie Calli, senior associate Lisa Huynh and solicitor Jeraldine Mow.
How to reduce non-essential electricity consumption in Timor-Leste?One of the most effective initiatives for reducing non-essential electricity consumption in Timor-Leste is through demand side management. Simple methods like promoting the use of energy-efficient lamps (fluorescent lamps) can make a significant impact.
How long does a solar system last in Timor-Leste?High electricity costs and readily available solar radiation mean that the average payback period for a rooftop photovoltaic (PV) solar energy system in Timor-Leste is only 1.5 to 3 years instead of the global average of 6-10 years. Transitioning to solar can also help the country meet environmental commitments.
Does Timor-Leste need a roof-top solar energy system?In addition, most of Timor-Leste's electricity is generated through costly and polluting diesel generators. Australia's Market Development Facility (MDF) and ITP Renewables conducted an assessment of the potential market for roof-top solar energy systems in Timor-Leste.
Why is solar energy maintenance important in Timor-Leste?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 syste
