Lesotho: Astra Energy To Develop 100 MW Project

Astra Energy, an independent power producer has partnered with the Lesotho National Development Corporation to develop a 100 MW renewable energy project in Lesotho.

Under a public-private partnership model established with Astra Energy’s agent Aztec Management Consultants, the project will double Lesotho’s current installed electrical capacity –currently estimated at 77 MW.

“The project will improve the reliability of the electricity supply, which is essential for a growing economy. Successful completion of the project will also create direct and indirect employment, and have a positive impact on other sectors of the economy that depend heavily on a regular, cost-effective supply of electricity,” said Astra Energy CEO Ron Loudoun.
