Hirundo Lesotho Begins Road Construction and Maintenance Works for Mohale’s Hoek Wind Energy Project 

November 2025/ Hirundo Energy News

Hirundo Lesotho is pleased to announce the start of road & footpath construction and maintenance works that will provide access to two planned meteorological mast locations near Likoeneng, Mohale’s Hoek. These activities mark an important milestone in the development phase of the Mohale’s Hoek Wind Energy Project, which will help unlock Lesotho’s renewable energy potential. 

Why These Works Matter 

The road construction and maintenance are essential for enabling safe access to the mountain ridge where the meteorological masts will be installed. These masts will result in a detailed assessment of the expected wind resources in the area.  

Project Timeline 

• Preparatory work: starting 17 November 2025 

• Road construction & maintenance works: beginning 24 November 2025 

• Expected duration: approximately three months, depending on weather conditions 

Local communities may notice survey teams, path marking, and construction activities over the coming weeks.

Hirundo Lesotho has appointed a dedicated and experienced team to supervise and execute the works: 

• Construction Contractor

  Responsible for road maintenance and footpath construction, using mainly local labour and materials. 

• Owner’s Engineer
