Lesotho Energy Policy 2015-2025 is a framework policy that sets out the strategic direction of the country's energy sector developments. It is aligned to the Vision 2020 and the NSDP and promotes development of environmentally cleaner renewable energy and increasing its share in the country's energy mix.
The Department of Energy is committed to increasing energy access and ensuring security of energy supply in the country. The Department of Energy is tasked with promotion and implementation of renewable energy projects and programs.

Lesotho consumes 501 m kWh of electric energy per year. Per capita, this amounts to an average of 400 kWh. Lesotho can partly be self-sufficient with domestically produced energy, as the total production of all electric energy producing facilities is 501 m kWh, which is 55 percent of the country's own usage. The rest of the needed energy is imported from foreign countries.
In spite of the aforementioned investment incentives that have been formulated by Lesotho, the country is still lagging behind on the key incentives essential for investment in energy i.e. clearly formulated policy targets and incentives such as the REFIT. 3.3.1 Barriers15
