Why did DLA Piper advise Eletricidade de Timor-Leste?
DLA Piper advised Eletricidade de Timor-Leste on its first utility-scale solar PV and battery storage project with a 100MW capacity, marking a major milestone in the country’s renewable energy transition.
Will Timor-Leste have an energy policy?
The Secretariat of State for Energy Policy, responsible for this sector, has already defined an action plan and started to put it in action. A study was done, at the national level, which will allow the development of an energy policy for Timor-Leste.
Does Timor-Leste rely on diesel fuel?
Project's partner in DLA Piper’s Finance practice José de Ponte commented: “Timor-Leste has long relied on diesel fuel to power its grid, placing a significant financial burden on the state and end users.
How has Timor-Leste benefited from a power purchase agreement (PPA)?
This landmark project included drafting and negotiating a power purchase agreement (PPA) and an implementation agreement with the Ministry of Finance, marking a significant step in Timor-Leste’s transition to renewable energy and the modernisation of its electricity infrastructure. José de Ponte, Partner in DLA Piper’s Finance practice, commented:
Does Timor-Leste provide backstop guarantee for EDTL obligations?
For the Solar IPP project, Government of Timor-Leste represented by the Ministry of Finance has provided backstop guarantee for EDTL obligations under the Implementation Agreement.
