6 FAQs about [Lesotho plans energy storage project construction]

How will solar power Help Lesotho improve its energy structure?

The project will help Lesotho optimise its energy structure by cultivating solar power expertise to improve the economy and Basothoʼs livelihoods. The first phase of the project will supply the national power grid with 30MWp of electricity; while the second phase will have a capacity of 40MWp.

Does Lesotho have a solar farm?

This is especially so for countries like Lesotho that have abundant sun throughout the year. LSP Construction constructed the first ever Solar Farm in Lesotho in the Mafeteng District at Ha-Ramarethole. The project will help Lesotho optimise its energy structure by cultivating solar power expertise to improve the economy and Basothoʼs livelihoods.

Does Lesotho need electricity?

The country is renowned for an abundant supply of unspoilt and unexploited water resources, capturing approximately 50% of Southern Africa's total catchment run-off, therefore, hydropower contributes to most of its electricity needs . When it comes to energy access, Lesotho is considered one of the lowest in Africa .

What is LSP construction doing in Lesotho?

LSP Construction constructed the first ever Solar Farm in Lesotho in the Mafeteng District at Ha-Ramarethole. Two Phases, Phase I - 30MWp and Phase II - 40MWp. Phase I currently in progress: Expansion of the Ha-Ramarothole substation. Erection of a new 55 km 132kV overhead transmission line from Ha-Ramarothole to Ha-Mofoka.

Should Lesotho invest in solar energy?

Erection of a new 55 km 132kV overhead transmission line from Ha-Ramarothole to Ha-Mofoka. Solar energy is increasingly one of the most sought-after forms of energy in developed countries. But that already is a problem because developing countries like Lesotho, have over the years shown little appetite to invest in solar energy.

Who controls the energy sector in Lesotho?

There are other Ministries or agencies with overarching influence over the energy sector: Ministry of Development Planning; Ministry of Finance; Ministry of Mining; Ministry of Public Works and Transport; Water Commission; and Lesotho Revenue Authority.
