Lesotho Energy Access Dialogue
Lesotho’s challenging terrain complicates efforts to provide universal energy access, despite its significant untapped renewable energy potential. Effectively harnessing this potential could address the country’s energy access gap in a sustainable and affordable way.
The Lesotho Energy Access Dialogue (LEAD) aims to support the country’s efforts to solve its energy access issues and develop its renewable energy market by promoting renewable energy technologies and projects in Lesotho.
The Alliance for Rural Electrification (ARE) and the NUL Energy Research Centre (NUL ERC) will organise the first LEAD on 25-26 June 2025 in Maseru, with a special focus on renewable energy.
Supported by Renewable Lesotho, a joint Team Europe initiative of the European Union Delegation to Lesotho, the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), the European multi-donor programme GET.invest and other partners, and the Department of Energy of Lesotho (DoE), the LEAD 2025 aims to boost clean energy generation, energy efficiency, and equitable access to energy while enhancing sector leadership and capacity.
