I-Afrika Idinga Ugesi Manje Kunangaphambili, Ikakhulukazi Ukugcina Imithi Yokugomela I-COVID-19 Ibanda

Amandla elanga adala izithombe zamaphaneli ophahleni.Lo mfanekiso uyiqiniso ikakhulukazi e-Afrika, lapho abantu ababalelwa ezigidini ezingama-600 bengenawo ugesi - amandla okugcina izibani zikhanya namandla okugcina umgomo we-COVID-19 uqhwa.

Umnotho we-Afrika ukhule ngendlela eqinile ngesilinganiso sama-3.7% kulo lonke izwekazi.Lokho kwandiswa kungabhebhezelwa nakakhulu ngama-electron asekelwe elanga kanye nokungabikho kokukhishwa kwe-CO2.Ngokusho kweI-International Renewable Energy Agency(IRENA), amazwe afinyelela kwangama-30 e-Afrika anqanyulwe ugesi ngenxa yokuthi isidingo sokuhlinzekwa siyancipha.

Ake ucabange ngalesi simo esibucayi.Ugesi uwumgogodla wanoma yimuphi umnotho.I-Gross Domestic Product ngomuntu ngamunye ngokuvamile inkulu ngokuphindwe kathathu kuya kahlanu eNyakatho Afrika lapho abantu abangaphansi kuka-2% abangenawo amandla athembekile, kusho i-IRENA.E-Afrika eseningizimu ye-Sahara, inkinga inkulu kakhulu futhi izodinga izigidigidi zokutshalwa kwezimali okusha.

Ngo-2050, i-Afrika kulindeleke ukuthi ikhule isuka kubantu abayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane eziyi-1.1 namuhla iye ezigidini ezi-2, nesamba somnotho esiphuma ku-$15 trillion - imali manje, ngokwengxenye, ezoqondiswa ezindaweni zokuthutha namandla.

Ukukhula komnotho, izindlela zokuphila ezishintshayo, kanye nesidingo sokufinyelela kwamandla esimanje okuthembekile kulindeleke ukuthi kudinge amandla kagesi okungenani aphindwe kabili ngo-2030. Ukuze uthole ugesi, kungase kudingeke ukuthi uphindwe kathathu.I-Afrika inikezwe ngokucebile imithombo yamandla avuselelekayo, futhi isikhathi esifanele sokuhlela okuphusile ukuze kuqinisekiswe ukuxutshwa kwamandla okulungile.

 

Izibani Ezikhanyayo Phambili

Izindaba ezinhle ukuthi, ngaphandle kweNingizimu Afrika, cishe amamegawathi ayi-1,200 kagesi welanga avela ngaphandle kwegridi kulindeleke ukuthi afike ku-inthanethi kulo nyaka emazweni ase-Afrika eseningizimu yeSahara.Izimakethe zikagesi zezifunda zizothuthuka, zivumele amazwe ukuthi athenge ama-electron kulezo zindawo anensada.Kodwa-ke, ukuntuleka kokutshalwa kwezimali kwangasese kwingqalasizinda yokudlulisa kanye nasezikhungweni zezizukulwane ezincane kuzokhinyabeza lokho kukhula.

Sekukonke, sekufakwe amasistimu elanga angaphezu kuka-700,000 esifundeni, kusho iBhange Lomhlaba.Amandla avuselelekayo, ngokuvamile, angaphakela u-22% kagesi wezwekazi lase-Afrika ngo-2030. Lokho kukhuphuke kusuka ku-5% ngo-2013. Inhloso enkulu ukushaya u-50%: amandla aphehlwa ngamanzi kanye namandla omoya angafinyelela ku-100,000 wamamegawatts lilinye kanti amandla elanga angafinyelela ku-90,000 amamegawathi.Nokho, ukuze kufike lapho, kudingeka ukutshalwa kwezimali okungamaRandi ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-70 ngonyaka.Lokho kungu-$45 billion ngonyaka wokukhiqiza amandla kanye namaRandi ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingama-25 ngonyaka wokudlulisela.

Emhlabeni jikelele, i-energy-as-a-service kulindeleke ukuthi ifinyelele ku-$ 173 billion ngo-2027. Umshayeli oyinhloko ukwehla okukhulu kwamanani e-solar panel, cishe u-80% walokho ababeyikho eminyakeni eyishumi edlule.Isifunda sase-Asia-Pacific kulindeleke ukuthi samukele lolu hlelo lwebhizinisi - uhlelo olungase i-Afrika eseningizimu yeSahara nalo lungalusebenzisa.

Nakuba ukwethembeka nokuthengeka kubaluleke kakhulu, imboni yethu ingase ibhekane nezinselele zokulawula njengoba ohulumeni beqhubeka nokuthuthukisa imithetho yenqubomgomo yokuthuthukiswa kwamandla avuselelekayo, ubungozi bemali nakho kungaba yinkinga.

Ukufinyelela kwamandla kunikeza ithemba lempilo yezomnotho ezinzile kanye nokuba khona okunempilo nokukodwamahhala ku-COVID-19.Ukwandiswa kwamandla elanga e-off-grid e-Afrika kungasiza ekuqinisekiseni lo mphumela.Futhi izwekazi elikhulayo lilungele wonke umuntu futhi ikakhulukazi lezo zinkampani zamandla ezifuna ukuthi isifunda sikhanye.
