Welcome to Lesotho Electricity Authority

The The Lesotho Electricity Authority (LEA) is now in its sixth year of existence having been established in 2004 through the Lesotho Electricity Authority (LEA) Act No.12 of 2002. Throughout the years the Authority has been operating in line with the Government policy on electricity matters. It has been able also to exercise the functions of an independent regulatory body on matters such as electricity pricing, complaints handling and resolution and the supervision of the implementation of the Quality of Service and Supply standards (QOSSS) by its licensees.
In 2007 the Government decided that the Lesotho Electricity Authority (LEA) should be transformed to be a multi-sector regulatory body assuming additional powers to regulate urban water and sewerage services in the country. The LEA will assume these additional powers as soon as an amendment enabling this (LEA Ammendment Bill 2010) has passed into law.
