Figure 3. Annual wind speeds (Indonesia wind prospecting, 3.2 Bravo Zone (Manatuto and Baucau Districts)
2015) distribution map in Timor Leste. Bravo zone is the medium rank for wind farm project
location with the average annual wind speed at 5 m/s.
3.1 Alpha Zone (Aileu District) Landforms and the topographic of bravo zone have a similar
style to the alpha zone, figure 5a.
Alpha zone is the highest propose for wind farm project
location with the average annual wind speed at 5 m/s.
Landforms of alpha zone dominated by the shallow hill with
gentle curvatures change, slope ranged from 0 to 8 degrees
with a trend to northeast and southwest, shown in figure 4a.

4. Conclusion
This preliminary study with the geo-environmental
perspectives concluded that Timor Leste has four zones of
onshore wind farm potential. The Highest rank of suitability
proposed for the wind farm is the Alpha zone which covered
Aileu district and the Medium rank is Bravo zone which
covered Manatuto disctrict. Charlie zone has constrained by
the landforms model and unstable surfaces. While Delta zone
has constrained by the coralline limestone units and unstable
surfaces.
