East Timor President José Ramos-Horta told The Associated Press in an interview in Dili last week that his country is interested in exploring various types of renewable energy sources, including wind, sea and especially solar power. “We have plenty of sun,” he said, adding that the cost of solar technology continues to fall.
The government of “Timor-Leste” is also trying to shift its policy to the introduction of clean energy, such as hydraulic, wind, and solar power generation. However, the most of its national budget for the electric power sector are spent on fuel import and electricity charges, so it is difficult to realize its policy.
The overall objective of this project is to develop, for the Government of East Timor, the Electrification Masterplan 2025 of East Timor based on Renewables Energies. The East Timor Renewable Energy Electrification Plan consists on the thorough analysis of wind, solar and hydro resources (including wind measurement stations installation).
Timor-Leste's power stations and distribution lines, showing the Power Distribution Modernisation Project. The initial capital investment in the new power system was reported as US$2 billion for the main power stations and distribution lines.
Totalling 280 MW, the national generation capacity is much greater than the current national peak load of 70 MW. It was commented that the two largest power stations were second-hand generators installed through a partnership with China, highlighting the influence of geopolitics in Timor-Leste's energy reconstruction.

Almost all main power sources in “Timor-Leste” depend on diesel electric power generation, and the fuel used for power generation (crude oil) is all imported.
