Lesotho is well endowed with enormous economically exploitable and viable hydro potential estimated at 450 MW for conventional hydropower systems and more than 3000 MW of pumped storage schemes . However, as shown in Fig. 1, only 75.25 MW of the hydroelectric potential has been harnessed so far.
Lesotho’s energy balance islargely dominated by combustible renewable resources. However, the country is well endowed with hydropower resources for the development of both large and small-scale hydropower projects. There are several challenges that have to be addressed in order to reap the full benefits of this resource.
With daily average solar radiation varying from 5.5 to 7.2 kWh/m 2 and about 3200–4000 sunshine hours per year, Lesotho’s theoretical solar power reception isabout 4500 Terawatt-hours per year(TW h/yr). However, the state of technology with regard to solar PV is limited by the wattage it can provide within reasonable costs.
