The project will help Lesotho optimise its energy structure by cultivating solar power expertise to improve the economy and Basothoʼs livelihoods. The first phase of the project will supply the national power grid with 30MWp of electricity; while the second phase will have a capacity of 40MWp.
This is especially so for countries like Lesotho that have abundant sun throughout the year. LSP Construction constructed the first ever Solar Farm in Lesotho in the Mafeteng District at Ha-Ramarethole. The project will help Lesotho optimise its energy structure by cultivating solar power expertise to improve the economy and Basothoʼs livelihoods.
Erection of a new 55 km 132kV overhead transmission line from Ha-Ramarothole to Ha-Mofoka. Solar energy is increasingly one of the most sought-after forms of energy in developed countries. But that already is a problem because developing countries like Lesotho, have over the years shown little appetite to invest in solar energy.
Brussels, 6 January 2022: EDFI ElectriFI, REPP, and 1PWR have reached financial close on Africa’s second largest project-financed mini-grid transaction. The equity-and-debt investment into the project vehicle, Sotho Minigrid Portfolio SPV, will fund the construction of a portfolio of 11 mini-grids in Lesotho with a total capacity of 1.8MW.
In 2019, REPP extended a LSL 7m loan to 1PWR to finance Lesotho’s first solar-battery mini-grid at the village of Ha Makebe. This project became operational in 2021 and now services 215 households and businesses in the community.
Lesotho, a landlocked nation surrounded by South Africa, has one of the lowest electrification rates on the continent, with about 62% of the population lacking access to electricity and with a rural electrification rate estimated at below 20%.
