Construction of Substations: Maseru (33/11kV 2x10 MVA) and Hlotse (33/11kV 10 MVA). Construction of 33kV Distribution Lines: 131km linking Quthing and Mphaki and 43km linking Maseru. . The supply from 'Muela and Eskom plus EDM (at Maseru intake) is transmitted through the 132kV lines to Maputsoe Substation and Mabote Substation respectively. These plants account for 86% [6] of the total electricity produced in South Africa and ~20% [6] of all electricity produced on the African continent. Key drivers include: Every innovation faces hurdles.

The supply from 'Muela and Eskom plus EDM (at Maseru intake) is transmitted through the 132kV lines to Maputsoe Substation and Mabote Substation respectively. The supply from Eskom (Clarence intake) enters Lesotho through 88kV line at Khukhune Substation in Butha-Buthe, while Qacha's Nek intake is through 22kV line from Matatiele.
Transmission and Distribution The role of Transmission and Distribution (T&D) is to provide safe and reliable electricity supply to Lesotho residents and businesses as a whole. The Transmission network evacuates power from the generation sources namely 'Muela Hydropower (LHDA), Eskom (South Africa) and EDM (Mozambique) to LEC load centres.
In 2022, South Africa imported 10,800 GWh from the Cahora Bassa Hydroelectric Power Station in Mozambique via the 1,920 MW Cahora Bassa (HDVC) Power Transmission System. Most power stations in South Africa are owned and operated by the state owned enterprise Eskom.
