Powering Progress: Stories of an Inclusive Energy Transition in Timor-Leste

July 10, 2026

Access to affordable, reliable, and sustainable energy is a cornerstone of development — and a just transition to clean energy must leave no one behind. This booklet brings together stories from projects UNDP has implemented across Timor-Leste over the years and with support from our partners, showcasing how energy transition initiatives are advancing sustainable development while prioritizing equity, inclusion, and human development.

Beyond technology and infrastructure, these stories illustrate what a just transition looks like in practice: expanding energy access for communities, improving energy efficiency, and supporting the decarbonization of key sectors, all while aligning with Timor-Leste's national development priorities and the region's evolving green economy agenda.

From community-level solutions to national policy support, this collection reflects UNDP's ongoing commitment to helping Timor-Leste build a more sustainable, resilient, and inclusive energy future.
