Developed by renowned Norwegian renewable energy company Scatec, this project is the nation's largest renewable energy initiative and is set to significantly boost Lesotho's production capacity. . Lesotho is taking a landmark step toward energy independence with the construction of the Letsatsi Solar Power Station, a 70-megawatt (MW) photovoltaic facility near Likhakeng in the Butha-Buthe District. The plant is divided into 8 arrays and each array has an inverter transformer station that gives output of 33kV. 33kV is transformed to 132kV and connected to LEC grid. It is the first utility-scale solar project in Lesotho, divided into two phases: the first phase will deliver 30 MW and the second 40 MW, with commissioning scheduled for early 2025. The consortium is led by Scatec. . arothole solar generation plant in Lesotho, aiming to enhance grid reliability through peak shaving.
