3 FAQs about [Lesotho photovoltaic energy]
Can Lesotho export wind power?
Breeze Power, a company owned jointly by GOKL and Harrison & White Investments, is investigating twelve sites for wind power generation. Energy demand is growing in South Africa and the rest of the region, and Lesotho has the potential to export renewable power.
How much hydropower does Lesotho generate?
Currently, Lesotho generates 72 megawatts of hydropower through the ‘Muela Hydropower plant, which does not satisfy domestic demand. The country will generate 80 MW following the construction of the Polihali Dam expected to be completed in 2028. There is potential, and there are plans, to expand hydropower capacity and establish wind farms.
Are solar mini-grids right for Lesotho?
Lesotho is one of the least electrified countries in the world, with a rural electrification rate estimated at below 20% – and solar mini-grids offer an opportunity to serve difficult-to-access locations.
