Renewable Energy Development. The level of development of Lesotho''s renewable energy (RE) framework is rated low. There are no policy document or legislation for RE development. There is also no framework that encourages the private sector to participate in grid-connected renewable energy investments.
1. Lesotho relies on the Republic of South Africa (RSA) for most of its energy requirements including power, petroleum, coal and fuelwood. In 1981, energy imports were 150,000 toe and absorbed about 11.7% of the country''s foreign exchange earnings, including remittances. As energy imports account for only eight percent of total imports, energy

Lesotho Energy Policy 2015-2025 is a framework policy that sets out the strategic direction of the country's energy sector developments. It is aligned to the Vision 2020 and the NSDP and promotes development of environmentally cleaner renewable energy and increasing its share in the country's energy mix.
The government policy is to provide a reliable electricity supply at reasonable cost to businesses in Lesotho. Electricity is supplied by the Lesotho Electricity Company (LEC), which is government-owned but was incorporated as a company in 2006 to operate under commercial principles.
Households in Lesotho require energy mainly for lighting, cooking, and space heating. Data show that there is a difference in level of energy access and hence use between urban and rural households in Lesotho, with a higher proportion of urban households having access to more modern forms of energy compared to rural households.
