About electricity in Lesotho
Lesotho uses 230V/50Hz with Type M sockets, the larger Southern African three-round-pin.

LEC supplies the country from the Muela hydropower plant (part of the Lesotho Highlands Water Project) plus imports from South Africa.
Availability
Reliable when South African supply is stable; affected by South African load-shedding.

Practical tips
