You know, Lesotho''s mountainous terrain gives it 3,000+ hours of annual sunshine - perfect for solar power. But here''s the kicker: 40% of generated renewable energy gets wasted due to
Abstract An application of the Weather Research and Forecasting model aiming to estimate wind and photovoltaic energy resources over Lesotho is presented. To this scope,
Lesotho has identified hydropower, wind generation, and solar power as potential energy sources to help it become a net exporter of energy and is proactively seeking investors
OverviewSub-Sector Best ProspectsOpportunitiesResourcesContactsIn Lesotho, about 47 percent of households have access to electricity, concentrated mainly in urban areas. The government has not achieved its goal of increasing the electrification rate to 75 percent of households by 2022.

Distribution of wind potential Annual generation per unit of installed PV capacity (MWh/kWp) Wind power density at 100m height (W/m2)
Currently, energy demand in Lesotho exceeds production capacity by about 50%, making the country dependent on imported fuels, mainly from Mozambique and South Africa.
Lesotho has the potential to produce up to 6.000MW from wind and solar, 4.000MW from pump storage, 400MW from conventional hydropower, and more than 1.200MW from hydropower.
