Electricity generation in Lesotho

Annual electricity production, fuel mix and historical observations for Lesotho, with links to its grid operators, electricity market and power stations.

Reference year: 2024. Published snapshot, not live output. Energy is reported in terawatt-hours (TWh).

How much electricity does Lesotho produce?

Lesotho reported 0 TWh of domestic electricity generation in 2024. The source reports zero for this year; it is not a missing value and does not establish an absence of electricity supply or imports. Any source-recorded 0% shares below are not interpreted as a meaningful renewable or low-carbon proportion of a zero generation total.

Electricity mix 2024

Annual generation by source · terawatt-hours (TWh)

Reported annual generation is zero; there is no non-zero fuel distribution to draw.

Missing categories are labelled “No data”. Rounding can cause small differences from the reported total.

Renewable share uses domestic generation as its denominator. Low-carbon generation includes renewables and nuclear; nuclear is not renewable. Missing fuel categories remain “No data”, and rounded source values need not sum exactly to the reported total.

Generation is not consumption or installed capacity

The source separately reports electricity demand of 0.58 TWh for 2024. Domestic generation is not electricity consumed after trade and losses. The demand series is a separate source measure, not a calculated import balance. Power-plant ratings in megawatts (MW) measure capacity; annual production in TWh measures energy.

Searching for “energy production in Lesotho”? This profile answers the electricity part of that question. Transport fuels, heat and total primary-energy production are outside this dataset.

Every row retains its own reporting year. 2024 remains the common-year comparison even where a newer observation exists. Missing observations are not interpolated.
