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.
The pilot mini-grid and those of the planned larger portfolio are solar PV hybrids with battery storage and limited LPG backup generation. The hybrid nature of the design is to ensure 24-hour, year-round electricity supply, including Lesotho’s harsh winters.
Construction of the 50kWp solar mini-grid was made possible thanks to an LSL7m (Lesotho loti) loan from REPP in October 2018. This followed a pioneering effort to secure Lesotho’s inaugural mini-grid concession by Sotho Minigrid Portfolio SPV (Pty) Ltd, a special purpose vehicle (SPV) owned by OnePower Lesotho (Pty) Ltd.
OnePower Africa is a fast-growing startup based in Lesotho with the mission to bring electricity to underserved communities in developing countries. We provide affordable and reliable electricity services to off-grid villages, giving families, schools, health clinics, and local businesses the opportunity to thrive.
