Amandla elanga enza imifanekiso yeepaneli eziphezu kophahla.Lo mfanekiso uyinyani ngakumbi e-Afrika, apho malunga ne-600 yezigidi zabantu abangenawo umbane - amandla okugcina izibane zikhanya kunye namandla okugcina isitofu sokugonya se-COVID-19 sinomkhenkce.
Uqoqosho lwase-Afrika lukhule ngokuluqilima ngomyinge we-3.7% kwilizwekazi liphela.Olo lwandiso lunokuxhaswa ngakumbi ngee-electron ezisekelwe kwilanga kunye nokungabikho kokukhutshwa kwe-CO2.Ngokutsho kweI-Arhente yaMandla aHlaziywayo yaMazwe ngaMazwe(IRENA), njengoko uninzi kumazwe angama-30 e-Afrika anengxaki yokucinywa kombane ngenxa yokuba imfuno yobonelelo lwags.
Khawucinge ngale ngxaki okomzuzwana.Umbane ngundoqo kulo naluphi na uqoqosho.I-Gross Domestic Product ngomntu ngamnye iphindwe kathathu ukuya kahlanu kuMntla Afrika apho ngaphantsi kwe-2% yabemi abangenawo amandla athembekileyo, i-IRENA ithi.Kwi-Afrika ekwi-sub-Sahara, ingxaki inkulu kakhulu kwaye iya kufuna iibhiliyoni kutyalo-mali olutsha.
Ngo-2050, i-Afrika kulindeleke ukuba ikhule ukusuka kwi-1.1 yezigidigidi zabantu namhlanje ukuya kwi-2 yezigidigidi, kunye nesiphumo sezoqoqosho esipheleleyo se-15 yeebhiliyoni zeebhiliyoni - imali ngoku, ngokuyinxenye, iya kujoliswa kwiindawo zokuthutha kunye namandla.
Ukukhula koqoqosho, iindlela zokuphila eziguqukayo, kunye nesidingo sofikelelo lwangoku oluthembekileyo lwamandla kulindeleke ukuba lufune amandla ombane aphindeke kabini ubuncinane ngo-2030. Kumbane, unokude uphindwe kathathu.I-Afrika inikwe ngokutyebileyo imithombo yamandla avuselelekayo, kwaye ixesha lilungile locwangciso oluvakalayo lokuqinisekisa umxube ochanekileyo wamandla.
Izibane Eziqaqambileyo Phambili
Iindaba ezimnandi zezokuba, ngaphandle koMzantsi Afrika, malunga ne-1,200 yeemegawatts zamandla elanga angekho kwigrid ekulindeleke ukuba eze kwi-intanethi kulo nyaka kwi-Afrika ekwi-sub-Sahara.Iimarike zamandla zengingqi ziya kukhula, zivumela amazwe ukuba athenge ii-electron kwezo ndawo zinentsalela.Nangona kunjalo, ukunqongophala kotyalo-mali lwabucala kwiziseko ezingundoqo zothumelo kunye neenqwelo ezincinci zothutho kuya kuthintela ukukhula.
IBhanki yehlabathi ithi, zingaphezu kwama-700 000 iinkqubo zelanga ezifakelwe kulo mmandla.Amandla ahlaziyekayo, ngokubanzi, anokubonelela nge-22% yombane welizwekazi lase-Afrika ngowama-2030. Oko kunyuka ukusuka kwi-5% ngo-2013. Eyona njongo iphambili kukubetha i-50%: amandla ombane kunye nawomoya anokufikelela kwi-100,000 yeemegawatts inye ngelixa amandla elanga angabetha ama-90,000 iimegawathi.Noko ke, ukuze kufike apho, kufuneka utyalo-mali oluziibhiliyoni ezingama-70 ngonyaka.Leyo yi-45 yeebhiliyoni zeedola ngonyaka ukulungiselela umthamo wokuvelisa kunye ne-25 yeebhiliyoni zeedola ngonyaka ukusasaza.
Ehlabathini lonke, i-energy-as-a-service ilindeleke ukuba ifike kwi-173 yeebhiliyoni zeedola ngo-2027. Umqhubi obalulekileyo kukuhla ngokukhawuleza kwamaxabiso e-solar panel, malunga ne-80% yento ababeyiyo kwiminyaka elishumi edlulileyo.Ummandla we-Asia-Pacific kulindeleke ukuba wamkele esi sicwangciso soshishino-esinokuthi i-Afrika ekwi-sub-Saharan ikwazi ukuyamkela.
Ngelixa ukuthembeka kunye nokufikeleleka kubaluleke kakhulu, ishishini lethu linokujongana nemingeni yolawulo njengoko oorhulumente beqhubeka nokuphuhlisa imigaqo-nkqubo yophuhliso lwamandla ahlaziyekayo, umngcipheko wemali nawo unokuba ngumba.
Ukufikelela kumandla kunika ithemba kubomi bezoqoqosho obuzinzile kunye nobukho obudlamkileyo kunye nobunyesimahla kwi-COVID-19.Ukwandiswa kwamandla elanga angekho kwigrid e-Afrika kunganceda ukuqinisekisa esi siphumo.Kwaye ilizwekazi elikhulayo lilungile kuye wonke umntu kwaye ngakumbi loo malinge amandla afuna ukuba ummandla ukhanye.
