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)
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.
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.
With about 70% of its electricity currently imported, mainly from South Africa, Lesotho aims to reduce this dependency. This solar plant is expected to provide a sustainable energy source, lower costs,
