The Ramarothole solar project, developed by Masdar and the Lesotho Electricity Company under the International Finance Corporation's (IFC) Scaling Solar program, is the nation's first utility-scale solar power plant. . 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. 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 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.
