AI Customer ServiceLesotho 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.
A Chinese based contractor SINOMA-TBEA Consortium has been engaged to construct the 30MW solar project. The project is under the direct supervision of Lesotho Electricity Generation Company (LEGCO). Phase I (30MW) of the project is financed by a soft loan from EXIM Bank of China with total contribution of USD 70.188 million.
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.
Successful pilot hybrid solar PV mini-grid in Lesotho paves way for a further 10 mini-grids that will provide first-time energy access to 30,000 people and clean power to seven health clinics.
The second phase of a pioneering solar mini-grids project in Lesotho is underway following the completion of a pilot project funded by REPP in Ha Makebe village, north-east of Maseru.
