Technical FAQs 4

How much electricity does Lesotho generate?

Lesotho currently generates electricity through the Muela Hydro Power Station which only provides 72MW and this is not enough to meet the country’s base load estimated at 160MW. The situation is even worse during peak hours, especially in winter.

Who is constructing a solar power plant in Lesotho?

The government has also engaged China Sinoma International Engineering and TBEA Xinjiang New Energy to construct solar power plant that will produce 70 MW. Lesotho Electricity and Water Authority (LEWA) Lesotho Electricity Company (LEC) Lesotho Highlands Development Authority (LHDA)

Who is responsible for the operation and maintenance of Lesotho electricity generation company?

The Lesotho Electricity Generation Company, as the operator of the project, will take over the operation and maintenance of the project after the completion of the project. At that time, the contractor plans to train the engineers of LEGCO in operation and maintenance so that they can be competent for the work.

Can Lesotho produce 450 MW of hydropower?

According to Lesotho’s Department of Energy, Lesotho could potentially produce 450 MW in hydropower and several hundred more with wind power. However, only 17 percent of this potential is being exploited, 96 percent of it at the ‘Muela hydro-power plant and the rest from mini hydro-power plants at Mants’onyane, Mokhotlong, Tsoelike, and Semonkong.
