Abantu abazizigidi ezingama-600 e-Afrika bahlala bengenawo umbane, nto leyo emele malunga ne-48% yabantu base-Afrika bebonke. Umthamo wonikezelo lwamandla e-Afrika nawo wenziwa buthathaka ngakumbi ziziphumo ezidityanisiweyo zobhubhani wenyumoniya waseNewcastle kunye nengxaki yamandla kumazwe ngamazwe. Kwangaxeshanye, i-Afrika ililizwekazi lesibini kwabona bantu baninzi nabakhula ngokukhawuleza ehlabathini, ibe ngaphezu kwekota yabemi behlabathi ngo-2050, kwaye kubonakala ukuba i-Afrika iya kujongana noxinzelelo olwandayo kuphuhliso nokusetyenziswa kwamandla.

Ingxelo yamva nje ye-International Energy Agency, i-Africa Energy Outlook 2022, ekhutshwe ngoJuni kulo nyaka, ibonisa ukuba inani labantu abangenawo amandla ombane e-Afrika liye landa ngezigidi ezingama-25 ukususela ngo-2021, kwaye inani labantu abangenako ukufikelela kumbane e-Afrika liye lanyuka malunga ne-4% xa kuthelekiswa no-2019. umthwalo abawubekayo kumazwe aseAfrika.

Kodwa kwangaxeshanye, i-Afrika inama-60% emithombo yamandla elanga ehlabathini, kwakunye neminye imithombo yombane eninzi yomoya, i-geothermal, umbane wamanzi kunye neminye imithombo yamandla ahlaziyekayo, okwenza i-Afrika ibe yindawo yokugqibela yehlabathi yamandla ahlaziyekayo ayikaphuhliswa ngokomlinganiselo omkhulu. Ngokutsho kwe-IRENA, ngo-2030, i-Afrika inokuhlangabezana phantse nekota yezidingo zayo zamandla ngokusetyenziswa kwemithombo yamandla yemveli, ecocekileyo ehlaziyekayo. Ukunceda iAfrika iphuhlise le mithombo yamandla aluhlaza ukuze kuxhamle abantu bayo yenye yeemishini zaseTshayina eziya e-Afrika namhlanje, kwaye iinkampani zaseTshayina zingqina ukuba ziyayifezekisa injongo yazo ngezenzo zazo.

Inqanaba lesibini leprojekthi ye-traffic signal ye-solar-powered e-Abuja, ikomkhulu laseNigeria, ibambe umthendeleko we-groundbreaking e-Abuja ngoSeptemba 13. Ngokutsho kweengxelo, uncedo lwe-China kwiprojekthi ye-traffic traffic ye-solar ye-Abuja yahlulwe ibe zizigaba ezibini, iprojekthi igqityiwe i-74 ye-intersections ye-solar traffic signal, ngoSeptemba 2015 emva kokudluliselwa komsebenzi omhle. I-China neNigeria zityikitye isivumelwano sentsebenziswano kwisigaba sesibini seprojekthi ngo-2021 sokwakha iimpawu zendlela ezisebenza ngamandla elanga kwiindlela eziseleyo ezingama-98 kwindawo eyinkunzi ukuze kuqatshelwe zonke iindlela zokunqumla kwikomkhulu zingajongwanga. Ngoku iChina yenza okulungileyo kwisithembiso sayo eNigeria sokukhanyisela ngakumbi izitrato zekomkhulu i-Abuja ngamandla elanga.

NgoJuni kulo nyaka, iplanti yokuqala yamandla e-photovoltaic kwiRiphabhliki yase-Afrika, i-Sakai photovoltaic power plant, ifakwe kwi-grid, iplanti yamandla yi-China Energy Construction Tianjin Electric Power Construction General Contractor, kunye nomthamo ofakelweyo we-15 MW, ukugqitywa kwayo kunokuhlangabezana malunga ne-30% yemfuno yombane ye-capital Central African Bangui, ukukhuthaza kakhulu uphuhliso lwentlalo noqoqosho lwasekhaya. Ixesha elifutshane lokwakhiwa kweprojekthi ye-PV yeplanti yombane iluhlaza kunye nokusingqongileyo, kwaye umthamo omkhulu ofakelweyo unokusombulula ngokukhawuleza ingxaki yokunqongophala kombane wendawo. Lo msebenzi ukwabonelele ngamathuba emisebenzi amalunga nama-700 ebudeni benkqubo yokwakha, unceda abasebenzi basekuhlaleni ukuba basebenzise izakhono ezahlukahlukeneyo.

Nangona i-Afrika ine-60% yemithombo yamandla elanga yehlabathi, ine-1% kuphela yezixhobo zokuvelisa amandla e-photovoltaic zehlabathi, ebonisa ukuba ukuphuhliswa kwamandla ahlaziyekayo, ngakumbi amandla elanga, e-Afrika kuyathembisa kakhulu. Inkqubo yeZizwe eziManyeneyo zokusiNgqongileyo (UNEP) ikhuphe "iNgxelo yeSimo seHlabathi kuMandla aVuselelwayo ngo-2022" ibonisa ukuba ngaphandle kwempembelelo yobhubhani we-pneumonia waseNewcastle, iAfrika isathengisa i-7.4 yezigidi zeemveliso zelanga ngo-2021, iyenza ibe yeyona ntengiso inkulu emhlabeni. inqanaba lesibini kunye neeyunithi ze-439,000 ezithengiswayo kuMbindi kunye noMzantsi Afrika wanda kakhulu, kunye ne-Zambia up 77 ekhulwini, i-Rwanda i-30 ekhulwini kunye neepesenti ze-9 ze-West Africa iiseti ze-1 yezigidi, i-scale incinci kakhulu kulo nyaka, ummandla wase-Afrika ungenise inani le-1.6GW ye-PV ngonyaka-41.

Ingabonwa ukuba iimveliso ezincedisayo ezinxulumene ne-PV zinemarike enkulu e-Afrika. Ngokomzekelo, inkampani yaseTshayina iHuawei's Digital Power iqalise uluhlu olupheleleyo lwe-FusionSolar smart PV kunye nezisombululo zenkqubo yokugcina amandla kwimarike ye-Afrika engaphantsi kweSahara kwi-Solar Power Africa 2022. Izisombululo ziquka i-FusionSolar Smart PV Solution 6.0+, eyenza iinkqubo ze-PV zivumelane neemeko ezahlukeneyo zegridi, ngakumbi kwiindawo ezibuthathaka zegridi. Ngeli xesha, iSisombululo sokuHlala se-Smart PV kunye ne-Commerce & Industrial Smart PV Solution ibonelela ngoluhlu olupheleleyo lwamava ombane acocekileyo kumakhaya nakumashishini, ngokulandelelana, kubandakanywa ukulungiswa kwebhili, ukhuseleko olusebenzayo, ukusebenza kakuhle kunye nokugcinwa, kunye noncedo oluhlakaniphile lokuphucula amava. Ezi zisombululo ziluncedo kakhulu ekuqhubeni ukwamkelwa ngokubanzi kwamandla ahlaziyekayo kwiAfrika iphela.

Kukwakho neemveliso ezahlukeneyo zokuhlala zePV ezenziwe ngamaTshayina, ezidume kakhulu kubantu baseAfrika. EKenya, ibhayisekile esebenza ngelanga enokusetyenziselwa ukuthutha nokuthengisa izinto esitratweni ifumana ukuthandwa kwasekuhlaleni; iibhegi zelanga kunye neeambrela ezisebenza ngelanga zithengiswa kakuhle kwimarike yaseMzantsi Afrika, kwaye ezi mveliso zingasetyenziselwa ukutshaja kunye nokukhanyisa ukongeza kuzo, ezilungele imeko yendawo kunye nentengiso yaseAfrika.

Ukuze i-Afrika isebenzise amandla ahlaziyekayo ngcono, kubandakanywa amandla elanga, nokukhuthaza uzinzo kwezoqoqosho, i-China ukuza kuthi ga ngoku iphumeze amakhulukhulu amandla acocekileyo kunye neeprojekthi zophuhliso lohlaza ngokwesakhelo seQonga leNtsebenziswano ye-China-Afrika, ukuxhasa amazwe ase-Afrika ukuba asebenzise ngcono amandla elanga, amandla ombane, amandla omoya, igesi yebhayoloji kunye namanye amandla acocekileyo, kunye nokunceda iAfrika ukuba iqhubele phambili kuphuhliso oluzinzileyo nokuzimela.
