Ukwandisa ukufikelela kumbane kwi-Afrika engaphantsi kwe-Sahara ngumsebenzi omkhulu wobunjineli oza kufuna utyalo-mali olubalulekileyo kunye nokucinga kwakhona ukuba kuthetha ukuthini ukunikezelwa kwamandla.
Ukusuka kwi-orbit yoMhlaba ephantsi kubusuku obude, obumnyama, iindawo ezinkulu zoMphezulu woMhlaba zikhanya ngoshicilelo lweshishini.Phantse kuyo yonke indawo, izibane zentsimbi zikhanyisa isibhakabhaka esikhulu ebusuku, uphawu lokufudukela kwabantu ezidolophini kuqhutywa zizinto ezintsha zobuchwepheshe.
Noko ke, kusekho iindawo ezininzi kwesi sijikelezi-langa ezichazwa “njengemimandla emnyama,” kuquka iAfrika engezantsi kweSahara.Uninzi lwabantu behlabathi abangenawo umbane ngoku bahlala kwi-Afrika ekwi-sub-Sahara.Abanye abantu abazizigidi ezingama-600 abanako ukufikelela kumbane kunye neziseko zombane ezisalela emva kweminye imimandla.
Impembelelo yale ndlela yokwenza i-patchwork kubonelelo lwamandla inzulu kwaye isisiseko, kunye namatyala ombane kwezinye iindawo ngokuphindwe kathathu ukuya kwesithandathu kunalawo ahlawulwe ngabasebenzisi begridi ngenxa yokuxhomekeka kwiijenereyitha zasekhaya.
Abemi be-Afrika ekwi-Sub-saharan banda ngokukhawuleza kwaye ukufudukela kwabantu ezidolophini kuyanda, kodwa iingxaki zombane zichaphazela uphuhliso lwalo mmandla kuyo yonke into ukusuka kwimfundo ukuya kubemi.Ngokomzekelo, abantwana abakwazi ukufunda emva kokutshona kwelanga, yaye abantu abakwazi kufumana amayeza okusindisa ubomi ngenxa yokungabikho kwefriji efanelekileyo.
Impendulo esebenzayo kwintlupheko yamandla ibalulekile ekufezekiseni iiNjongo zoPhuhliso oluZinzileyo zeZizwe eziManyeneyo, nto leyo ethetha imfuneko yophuhliso olunamandla nolwahlukeneyo lweziseko zombane kunye nezibonelelo zokuvelisa kuwo wonke ummandla we-sub-Sahara.
I-Utility 3.0, isibonelelo soveliso lwamandla esingekho kwigridi, imele imodeli entsha yokuveliswa kombane kwihlabathi jikelele.
Unikezelo lwamandla sele luza kutshintsha
Namhlanje, amazwe angama-48 akumazantsi eSahara eAfrika, anabemi abazizigidi ezingama-800 xa edityanisiwe, avelisa umbane olingana nelaseSpeyin kuphela.Iiprojekthi ezininzi zeziseko ezingundoqo ziyaqhubeka kwilizwekazi liphela ukulungisa le ngxaki.
Umbutho waMandla woMbane waseNtshona Afrika (i-WAPP) yandisa ufikelelo kwiigridi kummandla kwaye iseka inkqubo yokusasaza ekwabelwana ngayo phakathi kwamazwe angamalungu ayo.EMpuma Afrika, iDama le-Renaissance yase-Ethiopia liza kongeza i-6.45 yegigawatts yamandla kwigridi yelizwe yelizwe.
Kumazantsi eAfrika, iAngola sithethanje yakha amaziko amakhulu asixhenxe elanga aneepaneli zelanga ezisisigidi ezinokuvelisa iimegawathi ezingama-370 zombane ukunika amandla izixeko ezikhulu kwaneendawo ezisemaphandleni ezifanayo.
Iiprojekthi ezinjalo zifuna utyalo-mali olukhulu kunye nokubonelela okwaneleyo kwezixhobo, ngoko ke imfuno yentsimbi kummandla ibopheleleke ukuba ikhule njengoko iziseko zophuhliso zendawo zanda.Umbane oveliswa kwimithombo eqhelekileyo, efana nerhasi yendalo, nawo uyakhula, njengombane oveliswa kwimithombo ehlaziyekayo.
Ezi projekthi zinkulu ziye zachazwa “njengabatshintshi bemidlalo” kwiindawo ezihlala ezidolophini ngokukhawuleza neziya kwandisa ukufikelela kumbane okhuselekileyo nofikelelekayo.Nangona kunjalo, abantu abahlala kwiindawo ezikude kakhulu bafuna izisombululo ezingekho kwigridi, apho iiprojekthi zombane ezincinci ezinokuhlaziywa zinokudlala indima enkulu.
Iindlela zobuchwephesha ezizezinye kumbane wegridi ziye zathothisa kancinci iindleko, kunye nokukhanya kwelanga kunye nokuphuculwa kwebhetri kunye nobuchwepheshe bokukhanyisa i-LED (i-light-emitting diode) kunye nokunceda ukwandisa ukufikelela kumbane.
Iifama ezincinci zentsimbi esebenza ngamandla elanga nazo zinokukhiwa kwiindawo ezingxabalaze kwindawo ebizwa ngokuba “yi-solar belt”, ethe tyaba kwi-ikhweyitha yoMhlaba, ukunika umbane kulo lonke uluntu.Le ndlela isezantsi ukuya phezulu ekuveliseni amandla, ebizwa ngokuba yi-Utility 3.0, yenye indlela kunye nenkqubo encedisana nemodeli yeNdlela eSebenzayo eqhelekileyo kwaye inokumela ikamva lenguqu yamandla yehlabathi.
Imveliso yentsimbi kunye nobuchwepheshe bokulungisa buya kudlala indima ebalulekileyo ekuguquleni unikezelo lwamandla kwi-Afrika ekwi-sub-Saharan, kwiiprojekthi ezinkulu zokuvelisa umbane ezithatha imimandla emininzi nakwizinga elincinci, iiprojekthi zokuvelisa umbane ekuhlaleni.Oku kubalulekile ekujonganeni nentlupheko yamandla, ukufezekisa iiNjongo zoPhuhliso oluZinzileyo kunye nokutshintshela kwimodeli yophuhliso loqoqosho oluzinzileyo.
