Abantu abazizigidi ezingamakhulu amathandathu eAfrika baphila ngaphandle kombane, malunga nama-48 ekhulwini abemi. Impembelelo edibeneyo yobhubhane we-COVID-19 kunye nengxaki yamandla yamazwe ngamazwe iye yawenza buthathaka amandla okubonelela ngamandla e-Afrika. Kwangaxeshanye, i-Afrika lilizwekazi lesibini elinabemi abaninzi kwihlabathi kwaye lilizwekazi elikhula ngokukhawuleza. Ngowama-2050, iya kuba likhaya labantu abangaphezu kwekota yabemi behlabathi. Kulindeleke ukuba i-Afrika ijongane noxinzelelo olukhulayo lokuphuhlisa nokusebenzisa izixhobo zamandla.
Kodwa kwangaxeshanye, iAfrika inama-60% emithombo yamandla elanga yehlabathi, kunye namanye amandla avuselelekayo amaninzi afana nomoya, amandla obushushu kunye namanzi, okwenza iAfrika ibe lilizwe lokugqibela elishushu kwihlabathi apho amandla avuselelekayo angakhange aphuhliswe ngomlinganiselo omkhulu. Ukunceda iAfrika ukuphuhlisa le mithombo yamandla aluhlaza ukuze kuzuze abantu baseAfrika yenye yemisebenzi yeenkampani zaseTshayina eAfrika, kwaye ziye zabonakalisa ukuzinikela kwazo ngezenzo ezibonakalayo.
Umsitho wokuqalwa komhlaba ububanjelwe e-Abuja nge-13 kaSeptemba kwisigaba sesibini seprojekthi yezibane zetrafikhi ezisebenzisa amandla elanga eNigeria. Ngokweengxelo, iProjekthi yeZibane zeTrafikhi yelanga encediswa yiTshayina e-Abuja yahlulwe yangamacandelo amabini. Isigaba sokuqala sale projekthi sakhe izibane zetrafikhi zelanga kwiindawo ezingama-74 zokunqumlana. Le projekthi ibisebenza kakuhle ukusukela oko yanikezelwa ngoSeptemba ka-2015. Ngo-2021, iTshayina neNepal batyikitye isivumelwano sokusebenzisana kwisigaba sesibini sale projekthi, esijolise ekwakheni izibane zetrafikhi ezisebenzisa amandla elanga kwiindawo ezingama-98 eziseleyo zokunqumlana kummandla wekomkhulu kwaye benze zonke iindawo zokunqumlana kummandla wekomkhulu zingabi namntu. Ngoku iTshayina izalisekise isithembiso sayo eNigeria ngokuzisa ukukhanya kwamandla elanga ngakumbi ezitratweni zekomkhulu i-Abuja.
Nangona iAfrika ine-60% yezixhobo zamandla elanga ehlabathini, ine-1% kuphela yokufakelwa kwamandla e-photovoltaic ehlabathini. Oku kubonisa ukuba uphuhliso lwamandla avuselelekayo, ingakumbi amandla elanga, eAfrika lunamathuba amahle. NgokweNgxelo yeHlabathi yeMeko yaMandla aHlaziyiweyo ka-2022 ekhutshwe yiNkqubo yezeNdalo yeZizwe eziManyeneyo (i-UNEP), ngaphandle kwegridiiimveliso zelangaIthengiswe eAfrika ifikelele kwi-7.4 yezigidi zeeyunithi ngo-2021, nto leyo eyenza ukuba ibe yeyona marike inkulu kwihlabathi, nangona ifuthe lobhubhane we-COVID-19. IMpuma Afrika ikhokela ngee-4 yezigidi zeeyunithi ezithengisiweyo; iKenya yayiyeyona ithengiswe kakhulu kulo mmandla, ngee-1.7 yezigidi zeeyunithi ezithengisiweyo; i-Ethiopia ibekwe kwindawo yesibini, ithengise ii-439,000 zeeyunithi. I-Afrika eseMbindini naseMzantsi ibone ukukhula okubonakalayo, apho intengiso eZambia inyuke ngama-77 ekhulwini ngonyaka, iRwanda inyuke ngama-30 ekhulwini kwaye iTanzania inyuke ngama-9 ekhulwini. INtshona Afrika, ene-1 yezigidi zeeyunithi ezithengisiweyo, incinci kakhulu. Kwisiqingatha sokuqala salo nyaka, iAfrika ingenise i-1.6GW yeemodyuli ze-PV zaseTshayina, inyuke ngama-41% unyaka nonyaka.
Ezahlukeneyoiimveliso ze-photovoltaicEzi mveliso zenziwe yiTshayina ukuze zisetyenziswe ngabantu base-Afrika ziyamkelwa ngabantu base-Afrika. EKenya, ibhayisekile esebenza ngelanga enokusetyenziselwa ukuthutha nokuthengisa iimpahla ezitalatweni iyanda; Iingxowa zelanga kunye neeambrela zithandwa kakhulu kwimarike yaseMzantsi Afrika. Ezi mveliso zingasetyenziselwa ukutshaja nokukhanyisa ukongeza ekusetyenzisweni kwazo, nto leyo ezenza zibe zilungele imeko-bume yasekuhlaleni kunye nemarike.
