Lesotho solar energy storage project bidding
The second phase of a pioneering solar mini-grids project in Lesotho is underwayfollowing the completion of a pilot project funded by REPP in Ha Makebe village,north-east of Maseru.
Lesotho Government Contribution to this project is estimated at M220 million which will cover the costs of land compensations valued around M57 million, Tax obligations as well as operating costs of Lesotho Electricity Generation Company (LEGCO). The government is implementing 70MW solar electricity generation project at Ramarothole in Mafeteng.
The project will be under the direct supervision of Lesotho Electricity Generation Company (LEGCO). The 70MW Ramarothole solar power project is planned to be implemented and built in two phases: Phase I: 30MWp with construction period of 18 months and Phase II: 40MWp to be completed in 2030.
