Is a solar-powered Grid a good idea in Timor-Leste?
With the new UN reforms, the United Nations in Timor-Leste, under the leadership of the Resident Coordinator has now started lighting the way with its solar-powered grid which has begun to give maximum dividends. A powerful 300 kWp photovoltaic system is producing 400,000 kWh of clean electricity annually, filling critical gaps in energy supply.
Could Timor-Leste be a cost-efficient alternative energy solution?
The Operations Management Team started weighing the feasibility and working on a cost-efficient alternative energy solution in 2016-2017 when Timor-Leste was facing high electricity costs and increased CO2 emissions. "In Timor-Leste, our road to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development starts at home.
Is there a market for roof-top solar energy systems in Timor-Leste?
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.
Does Timor-Leste have electricity?
Timor-Leste has rapidly expanded electricity access to more than 83 per cent of the population but the country has yet to achieve energy security.1 Consumer costs, even with government subsidy, remain high and outages are common. In addition, most of Timor-Leste's electricity is generated through costly and polluting diesel generators.
What is Timor-Leste's energy policy?
In the context of Timor-Leste, part of the policy is promoting the use of renewable energy resources that are indigenous to rural locations and are environmentally benign. Another key part is promoting programs that replace fuel-wood with modern liquid fuels that are cleaner to handle and produce fewer harm-ful emissions.
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.
