During his nine years as a Reuters correspondent, he has attempted to lend a global perspective to small-town issues. East Timor expects the construction of its first large solar power plant to begin in 2026 and become operational months later, the state utility's chair told Reuters, helping it slash expensive diesel imports.
Still, East Timor's government has expressed interest in transitioning its energy sector. In 2020, it hired energy consultants to conduct a feasibility study for supplying natural gas to the three power plants. In 2021, it announced tendering for solar parks and a feasibility study for hydropower schemes.
East Timor plans to retire its diesel power plants in the "near-to-medium term," Ferreira said, adding that the country hopes to switch to natural gas-fired power plants and consider further renewable investments to further cut power costs.
