Description
Operations and maintenance (O&M) contracts for Timor-Leste's major diesel power plants (Hera, Betano, and Comoro) and O&M arrangements for the operation of the country's transmission and dispatch system were coming to an end. The Asian Development Bank (ADB) wanted to review the current contractual arrangements and the options being contemplated by key counterpart stakeholders, and advise on the most advantageous commercial options as a basis for the conclusion of new interim O&M contracts with either the incumbent O&M operators or suitably qualified alternative O&M operators.

DHInfrastructure analyzed the current O&M arrangements for (1) Timor-Leste's generation, transmission, and dispatch assets, and (2) local capacity to take over operations. We agreed criteria with the Government and proposed and evaluated potential interim and future commercial options for O&M of the assets.
