The Asian Development Bank (ADB) requested the preparation of reform options for greater private sector participation in Timor Leste’s power sector. This would require examination of the current policy framework governing Timor-Leste's power sector, including legislative and contractual arrangements defining the sector's structure and operations, and would highlight constraints to the expansion of reliable and sustainable electricity service to consumers at least cost. Moreover, options for PPP in the power sector needed to be examined, taking into consideration conclusions from the policy framework assessment, experience in Timor Leste, international case studies and a preliminary market sounding. The final result would be recommendations to MPS for the establishment of systems and practices for feasibility work including appraisal of projects and suitability for public-private partnerships.
