Environmental Impact

Preserving Natural Ecosystems

Our Solar PV and Battery Energy Storage System is engineered to harmonize with the local environment in Laleia, Manatuto. We conduct rigorous Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs) before construction, aiming for zero net loss to biodiversity.

  • Carbon Footprint Reduction Displacing diesel and heavy fuel oil generation with 100% renewable solar power.
  • Battery Storage Efficiency BESS integration ensures stable, dispatchable clean power around the clock.
  • Water Conservation Panel maintenance practices are chosen to minimise pressure on local water resources.
Social Responsibility

Empowering the Manatuto Community

True sustainability requires social equity. We invest in the communities where we operate — through capacity building, local infrastructure, and fair employment practices — and maintain an ongoing community liaison programme throughout construction and operation.

Technical Training Initiative

Comprehensive training programmes in renewable energy skills, building a local workforce capable of supporting Timor-Leste’s energy transition for years to come.
