One of the major hurdles in the Energy sector in Lesotho is access to information. All stakeholders bemoan this state of affairs perpetually. Below please find a searchable list of the documents produced by various energy stakeholders in the country. ERC aims to maintain a healthy and up-to-date list of all important documents. That can only be achieved provided people share the documents with us. For any crucial document that's not on the list below, please email it to energy@nul.ls and we'll do our best to make it available.
