Pumped hydro energy storage (PHES) has been in use for more than a century. It involves pumping water from a lower to an upper reservoir when there is spare power generation capacity (on windy or sunny days, for example), and letting it run down to the lower reservoir via a turbine to generate electricity when there is a shortfall – such as ...
A lack of legal framework and regulations continues to be a barrier to project financing. Hydropower could represent an excellent opportunity for Timor Leste and this paper examines the potential and challenges for developing this important resource.
Timor Leste shares the island of Timor with Indonesia, east of Bali and Lombok. The country has an area of 14 609 km2 and is mountainous with small valleys and a long coastline. The capital, Dili, has a population of around 200 000.
The current PLN power supply plan calls for the construction of five additional power generating facilities in West Timor by 2020, with 197 MW of total installed capacity. Four of the new facilities, ranging in size from 30 to 80 MW, will be near Kupang; the fifth is a 24 MW facility in Atambua not far from the Timor Leste frontier.
Stakeholder responses and anecdotal observations of rural households in Timor-Leste revealed that lighting, mobile phone charging, television, and radio dominate electricity use with limited adoption in agriculture-related activities. According to respondents, some farming groups operated small diesel generators for rice milling.

In summary, responses and observations indicated that the reported metric of (100 %) electrification was not the reality in some areas of rural Timor-Leste and was underutilised in agriculture. Timor-Leste's rapid electrification program has largely followed what Herington et al. characterised as a ‘donor-gift’ paradigm .

to solar energy Timor-Leste has a high-quality solar resource. The global horizontal irradiance in Dili is higher than on the east coast of Australia, where the solar market is mature and installation costs are higher. The cost of electricity in Timor-Leste for commercial and industrial consumers is high compared to ASEAN countries. For instance, in Indonesia industrial electricity tariffs are ...
