4 FAQs about Lesotho s new solar container communication station wind and solar complementarity

Does Lesotho have solar energy potential?

This study represents the first assessment of solar photovoltaic and wind energy potential production over Lesotho at high horizontal resolution (1 km), based on the state-of-the-art atmospheric model WRF.

Who is constructing a solar power plant in Lesotho?

The government has also engaged China Sinoma International Engineering and TBEA Xinjiang New Energy to construct solar power plant that will produce 70 MW. Lesotho Electricity and Water Authority (LEWA) Lesotho Electricity Company (LEC) Lesotho Highlands Development Authority (LHDA)

How was the photovoltaic power potential map produced for Lesotho?

The photovoltaic power potential map for Lesotho was produced using WRF Sim2 hourly values of normal, direct and diffuse solar radiation, 2 m temperature, 10 m wind and albedo. As for the wind energy assessment, the use of an hourly model output allowed us to take into account diurnal variability of the involved physical quantities.

What is the main power plant in Lesotho?

At present the Muela hydroelectric plant is the major power station in Lesotho with a total power of 72 MW and it is accountable for almost the total energy production of the country.
