Lesotho Village With Solar Farm Has No Power

Villagers say they gave up grazing land for solar panels in 2022, but they have not seen any reward

• Maphiring village in Mokhotlong district gave up grazing land in 2022 to allow OnePower Lesotho to install a solar farm and offices.
• But the villagers remain without electricity while the company generates power for neighbouring villages.
• OnePower says the situation is “purely due to a scheduling issue” and is committed to providing the village with power “in due course”.
