OnePower (1PWR), a solar power developer in Lesotho, has been instrumental in advancing the country’s renewable energy sector through both on-grid and off-grid projects. The company led a consortium that won Lesotho’s first tender for a 20MW utility-scale PV plant and designed, built, and operates the nation’s first privately financed mini-grid. As Africa’s sole manufacturer of single-axis tracking frames for solar panels, 1PWR, with PREO funding support, has enhanced local manufacturing capabilities to deliver solar PV trackers, smart meters, and mini-grid Power houses to mini-grid electrification projects underway in Lesotho – reducing reliance on imports and fostering local employment. By localising production, 1PWR is driving local value creation and demonstrating a roadmap for reducing the cost of off-grid electricity supply with results that are scalable to rural communities across sub-Saharan Africa.
