The Alliance for Rural Electrification (ARE) and the NUL Energy Research Centre (NUL ERC) will organise the first LEAD on 25-26 June 2025 in Maseru, with a special focus on renewable energy.
The country is renowned for an abundant supply of unspoilt and unexploited water resources, capturing approximately 50% of Southern Africa's total catchment run-off, therefore, hydropower contributes to most of its electricity needs . When it comes to energy access, Lesotho is considered one of the lowest in Africa .
To improve security of energy supply. To increase energy access and promote sustainable use. To review and develop policy, institutional and regulatory frameworks. To stimulate economic development through energy resources. To improve efficiency and effectiveness of internal and external processes and systems.

Lesotho is building its first large-scale solar power station in the Maseru district. The project will be completed in two phases—30 MW and then 40 MW—with the plant set to start operating in early 2025.
It provides options to execute the Lesotho Energy Policy on the net metering strategy to alleviate the energy demand; this strategy promotes renewable energy and environmental protection.
In conclusion, Maseru''s location in Lesotho provides a favorable environment for solar PV energy generation throughout the year. With proper installation and maintenance, solar panels can
This article breaks down eligibility criteria, funding tiers, and practical steps to leverage these benefits while exploring how this policy aligns with Lesotho"s green energy transition.
This project is located in Maseru, Lesotho at the UNDP building. This location was selected as a pilot site for the community in order to demonstrate how solar can save money and be a cheap energy
Lesotho produces about 72 MW from hydropower (Meula). It has about 150 MW peak power and imports more than 70 MW mainly from Mozambique (29% of peak demand) and 20% of its peak demand
To become an energy self-sufficient nation with sustainable, affordable and universally accessible energy, while minimising negative impact on the environment and creating intergenerational value.
Summary: Discover how the Maseru Energy Storage Power Station is transforming energy distribution in Southern Africa. Learn about its technological innovations, regional impact, and why it matters for
