In summary, the total 2015 budget requirement for the Education program is estimated 7.96 million.
4.2.8. Electricity Program
The aim of the electricity program is to provide reliable electricity generation, transmission and distribution of electricity power throughout Timor-Leste. The importance of a safe reliable
electricity supply is essential for progressing the nation to modernity and cannot be over- emphasised. These are by far the largest projects to be funded by the IF and include the
construction and equipping of the Power Stations at Hera and Betano and the erection of Medium and Low Voltage Power Distribution Towers and Cables
throughout the mainland
of Timor-Leste and the Construction of 9 Substations. Work remains to complete the Central Control Systems
, Improvement of Street Lighting, Construct a Jetty for Fuel Delivery at Hera
and Construct Accommodation for Maintenance and Operating staff in the Districts.
As for medium voltage, the initial approved budget in 2014 was 3.8 million and later, on the request of the project owner, CAFI approved an additional budget of 7.5 million which gave a
total of 11.3 million which is expected to be disbursed by the end of the year. For 2015, the total budget requirement for this budget line is 15.0 million. The low voltage in 2014 has been
initially allocated 8.5 million and later, on the request of the project owner, CAFI approved an additional budget of 8.2 million giving a total of 16.7 million which is expected to be
disbursed by end of the year. Meanwhile, the Power Stations at Hera and Betano had been initially allocated 33.3 million and later, on the request of the project owner, CAFI approved
an additional budget of 6.9 million giving a total of 40.2 million which is expected to be disbursed by the end of the year.
Oecusse and Atauro Island have yet to share the benefits that most of the rest of the country now enjoys. The Oecussi power supply and distribution line projects will enhance the potential for
the future development of the Special Economic Zone. The total budget initially allocated for the Oecussi Power Plant was 2.7 million and, with the approval of CAFI, this allocation has
been increased to 10.6 million. For Atauro, while some electricity is generated by privately installed solar panels and small generators, the island will be connected to the mainland by a
Submarine Cable
and provided with Sub-stations and a Local Distribution Network. These
works will commence in 2015. With regard to the IF projects for Oecussi as mentioned above, the National Parliament during
its debates of 2015 budget, has approved the transfer of all Oecussi programprojects to the Zona Economica Exclussiva ZEEMS Authority, including electricity projects.
During the last quarter of 2014, on the request of the project owner, CAFI has approved an additional budget of 82.1 million dollars which increased the total budget to 138.5 million
that was executed by end of the year. Overall, excluding the Oecussi located program, the above on-going projects in the Electricity
sector will require 57.1 million in 2015.
