As previously stated, solar and wind energy resources are inherently variable both in time and space. Their intrinsically stochastic nature is commonly seen as a significant threat to a hybrid power system''s stable and reliable operation [15], [16].However, this should not be perceived as an impediment to their further deployment but rather a challenge that can be

According to Lesotho''s Department of Energy, Lesotho could potentially produce 450 MW in hydropower and several hundred more with wind power. However, only 17 percent of this potential is being exploited, 96 percent of it at the ''Muela hydro-power plant and the rest from mini hydro-power plants at Mants''onyane, Mokhotlong, Tsoelike, and
Wind and Solar Resources Estimation In order to estimate the photovoltaic and wind power potential over Lesotho, the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) numerical model was used. In particular, a specific augmentation of WRF, the WRF-SOLAR was adopted, which is based on version 3.6 of WRF-ARW .
More in general, the development objectives of the Lesotho energy sector are in line with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development , adopted by the United Nations Member States in 2015.
In fact, Lesotho currently has a deficit in local electricity production that could be significantly reduced by the exploitation of RE sources abundantly available in the country (hydro, solar, and wind).
The major internal energy sources in Lesotho are biomass, in all forms, and hydropower. Fossil fuels are totally imported from South Africa. Lesotho imports about 40% of electricity to meet the electricity demand [14, 15], while considering the overall energy balance the dependency rate exceeds 60% .
Electricity supply in Lesotho has continuously increased over the last decades from about 200 GWh per year in 1990 to 900 GWh per year (red line in Figure 2 a), with average and peak load of 90–100 MW and 150–160 MW [14, 15], respectively.
Despite the recent considerable growth, the overall electricity access rate in Lesotho does not exceed 50% of population. In addition, the households’ electrification is not equally distributed over the country, with access rates estimated at 71% in urban centres and 38% in rural areas, according to 2018 World Bank data .
