Executive Summary
The paper mainly represents that how the Village lighting Scheme (VLS) provides the
electricity arrangements to the villagers of East Timor in Australia. This electricity is
generated from the solar energy. This following evaluates on the analysis of this solar energy
project and different management plans, risks as well as monitoring and controlling
procedures of this particular project. This project is developed to provide the electricity
services to the villagers of East Timor so that they can access the electricity entire all over the
day as well as night. To execute this entire project, Google Impact has taken a decision of
funding for this project. A particular planning has developed by the Kate Greenwood, the
project manager of ATA and other team members for delivering this electricity services to
East Timor.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT
1.0 Introduction
The main focus of this project is to evaluate on the analysis of Village lighting
Scheme (VLS) that provides a solar powered electricity arrangements that is cost effective
and ease of handling as well as eco-friendly (5 Guo et al. 2014). This electricity arrangements
helps the villagers if East Timor so that they can access the electricity throughout the day. It
also helps to increase social as well as economic growth of the country. This paper evaluates
that how ATA involve to complete the solar project. Because the organization ATA has given
the commitment to Google impact that they have to complete this project within two years. In
this case, Google impact has created an important role because they provide the total funding
for this solar project (Ahola et al. 2014). The VLS has few components such as community
engagement, local training, technology as well as maintenance that help to execute the entire
project.
2.0 Description of East Timor Project
In this particular case project. East Timor is the underdeveloped country and for that
reason, 35 percent of the houses do not have access the electricity which is the great problem
for the community (Chattopadhyay, Bazilian and Lilienthal 2015). So, the ATA has taken a
decision that they will develop a system which involves solar energy to produce the
electricity for the villagers. The ATA is the nonprofit organization in Australia and they have
been worked on solar projects over Ten years. But they have worked previously on
membership donations and small donations of various profit organizations. But this time,
Google Impact is the main funding source for this particular project (Chih and Zwikael
2015). The major purpose of this project is to offer a clean solar powered lighting in East
Timor. Not only the funding but also technical design, development work as well as
microcontroller based system are required for completion of this particular project. In East
