EDTL-RAEOA installations

In November 2010, Antoninho Guterres Ximenes registered Star World with a single service: electrical installation. He chose it because he understood it deeply, and because he knew that a rapidly developing nation like Timor-Leste would always need professional, reliable, certified electrical infrastructure built to last.

Sixteen years later, the Electrical Installation division remains the technical heartbeat of Star World Holdings, staffed by 25 certified professionals, a deliberate blend of international specialists and Timorese technicians who learn alongside them, building the local knowledge base that Timor-Leste needs for decades ahead. The division has delivered projects for EDTL, the Ministry of Public Works, the Ministry of Defense (FFDTL), SECOOP, Timor Gap, ETO Tower, and CNI 22, a client portfolio that speaks to a contractor trusted at the highest level of government and private infrastructure in the country.

What has never changed, from the first project in 2010 to the most complex installation today, is the standard: every job is executed to specification, documented rigorously, signed off by a qualified professional, and guaranteed.

Training That Builds the Nation

One of Antoninho’s core commitments as a business leader, expressed through both ANJET and his own operations, is that hiring Timorese people is not enough. You must also develop them. In the Electrical Installation division, that means every Timorese technician on the Star World team works alongside an international specialist, learning not just the task but the standard, the documentation, and the professional discipline behind it.

The Timorese electrical engineers and technicians who come through the Star World team are not just employees, they are part of a deliberate programme of national technical capacity building. When they eventually advance to senior positions or establish their own operations, the discipline they learned at Star World goes with them. That multiplier effect is what Timor-Leste’s private sector needs.

⎯ SAFETY & STANDARDS

Professional Electrical Work Starts
with Non-Negotiable Safety.

PPE & Site Safety Standards

Every Star World Electrical team member operates under strict PPE requirements, appropriate to voltage level and task. No shortcuts. No compromises. The safety of our team is a non-negotiable operational standard, not a policy document.

EDTL Compliance & Certification

All electrical installations are designed, constructed, and tested to comply with EDTL's technical specifications and Timor-Leste's national electrical standards. Installations are signed off by a qualified engineer prior to commissioning and client handover.

Full Documentation & As-Built Records

Every installation project is supported by full technical documentation, design drawings, material specifications, test results, and as-built records, delivered to the client at project completion and retained in Star World's records for maintenance reference.

Quality Assurance & Defect Liability

Star World Holdings stands behind every installation with a clear quality assurance commitment. Defect liability periods are specified in every contract, and our team responds to any identified post-completion issues promptly and at no additional cost within the warranty period.

⎯ WHY STAR WORLD ELECTRICAL

16 Years. 25 Professionals.
One Reason Clients Keep Coming Back.

The Founding Division — Proven Since 2010

Electrical installation is not a new venture for Star World Holdings. It is the original core, the division Antoninho built the entire company from. Sixteen years of uninterrupted operation, continuous improvement, and growing client trust is a track record no competitor can fabricate.

100% Timorese-Owned Contractor

Government and institutional clients increasingly recognize the economic development value of awarding contracts to locally-owned enterprises. Star World is 100% Timorese-owned, which means every dollar of contract value stays in the Timorese economy, and every job goes to a Timorese household.

Technical Depth Across HV and LV

Most local electrical contractors in Timor-Leste operate in the low-voltage residential and commercial space. Star World's team has the certification, equipment, and engineering experience to work at high-voltage infrastructure level, a capability that opens the most demanding and highest-value project categories.

A Contractor Who Finishes the Job

Timor-Leste's construction and electrical sector has seen more than enough contractors who start well and finish poorly. Star World Holdings' reputation, built over sixteen consecutive years of client renewal, is founded on one simple thing: we complete what we start, to the standard we promised.
