| Notes | Energy and power sectors Power is supplied and distributed by the Lesotho Electricity Corporation, LEC, which was established in 1969 under the Electricity Act No 7. This act permits the LEC to generate, transmit, distribute and supply electricity). Generation of Electricity falls outside the scope of the LEC business. Hence most of electricity is obtained from Muela and the small amount that Muela cannot supply from Eskom. We do have 4 small mini hydro-power stations in the mountains at Semonkong, Tlokoeng, Tsoelike and Mants'onyane. The Tsoelike station is decommissioned. The Tlokoeng station is also to be decommissioned now that Mokhotlong is connected to the grid. The plan is privaitize the Semonkong station and then only Mants'onyane will remain with LEC.
