In Lesotho, about 47 percent of households have access to electricity, concentrated mainly in urban areas. The government has not achieved its goal of increasing the electrification rate to 75 percent of households by 2022. Lesotho has identified hydropower, wind generation, and solar power as potential. .

[pdf] Mechanical brakes use callipers and discs to create friction and slow a rotor’s motion, designed to withstand the high torque of turbines and harsh conditions. By braking, the blades slow down, keeping the turbine rotating at a safe speed even in fast winds without expelling too much energy.
