Technical FAQs 4

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.

What are the main energy sources in Lesotho?

The major internal energy sources in Lesotho are biomass, in all forms, and hydropower. Fossil fuels are totally imported from South Africa. Lesotho imports about 40% of electricity to meet the electricity demand [14, 15], while considering the overall energy balance the dependency rate exceeds 60% .

Will Lesotho achieve a 75 percent electrification rate by 2022?

The government has not achieved its goal of increasing the electrification rate to 75 percent of households by 2022. Lesotho has identified hydropower, wind generation, and solar power as potential renewable energy sources to help reach these targets and are proactively seeking development partners and investors to help it achieve this goal.

What are the development objectives of the Lesotho energy sector?

More in general, the development objectives of the Lesotho energy sector are in line with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development , adopted by the United Nations Member States in 2015.
