- In Episode 8 of Tseba Ka Morero, join us as we engage in an insightful conversation with Mr. Reentseng Molapo, the Divisional Manager of Developments and Operations at the Lesotho Highlands Development Authority (LHDA). Together, we explore the incredible story behind the successful restoration of Unit One at the 'Muela Power Station.
Discover how LHDA, in the middle of a major operational challenge of a broken down hydropower unit, managed to "kill two birds with one stone." Learn how a dedicated team of internal experts pushed through and integrated a ten-year refurbishment plan and Unit restoration, ensuring not only the revival of Unit One to full operation, but also the long-term supply of power from the station.
This achievement goes beyond just repairing machinery; it's about providing clean, affordable, and sustainable energy to the people of Lesotho. Mr. Molapo reveals how this success aligns with the government's commitment to reduce the financial burden of electricity importation and ensure access to energy to Basotho.
This is interesting but i have a quick question, is Lesotho using this water flow to the maximum in the hydropower generation? If not, why not? It doesn't end there, is Lesotho as a country using all opportunities that come with this LHDA projects from agriculture to tourism or its just the matter of building dams and transfer of water to RSA? Why don't we grow and stabilize our economy just using this water before it goes to RSA?
