The Betano Power Station (Portuguese Central Eléctrica de Betano) is an oil power station located northeast of Betano, in the Manufahi District of Timor-Leste. It was built to supply the South coast of Timor-Leste with electricity, while the North coast is supplied by the Hera power station.[1]
The power station was inaugurated on August 20, 2013.[1][2] It has a total output of 136 MW, supplied by eight Wärtsilä 18V46 engine generators.[3] For comparison, the capacity of the Hera power station is slightly lower at 119 MW.[4]
The power station was built by China Nuclear Industry 22nd Construction Company (CNI22).[1] It is owned by Electricidade de Timor-Leste (EDTL), but operated by the Indonesian company Puri Akraya Engineering Ltd.[5] In October 2017, Wartsilä signed a new five-year contract for maintenance of the power station.[4]
As of January 2017, the station runs on light fuel oil, but heavy fuel oil and natural gas can be used as alternatives.[5]
