Ukwandisa ukufinyelela kugesi e-Afrika eseningizimu ye-Sahara kuwumsebenzi omkhulu wobunjiniyela ozodinga ukutshalwa kwezimali okukhulu kanye nokucabanga kabusha ukuthi kusho ukuthini ukuhlinzekwa kwamandla.
Kusukela ku-Earth orbit ephansi ngobusuku obude, obumnyama, izindawo ezinkulu zomhlaba zikhanya ngophawu lwemboni.Cishe yonke indawo, ukukhanya kwensimbi kukhanyisa isibhakabhaka esikhulu ebusuku, okuwuphawu lokukhula kwamadolobha okuqhutshwa ukusungulwa okusha kwezobuchwepheshe.
Nokho, kusenezindawo eziningana zeplanethi ezihlukaniswa “njengezindawo ezimnyama,” kuhlanganise ne-Afrika eseningizimu yeSahara.Iningi labantu emhlabeni abangawutholi ugesi manje bahlala emazweni ase-Afrika eseningizimu yeSahara.Abantu ababalelwa ezigidini ezingama-600 abantula ukufinyelela kugesi kanye nengqalasizinda yamandla kusalela emuva kwezinye izifunda.
Umthelela wale ndlela yokwenza ama-patchwork ekunikezeni amandla ujulile futhi ubalulekile, ngezikweletu zikagesi kwezinye izindawo eziphindwe kathathu kuya kweziyisithupha kunalezo ezikhokhwa abasebenzisi begridi ngenxa yokuthembela kumajeneretha asendaweni.
Isibalo sabantu e-Sub-saharan Africa sikhula ngesivinini futhi ukufudukela kwabantu emadolobheni kuya ngesivinini, kodwa izinkinga zikagesi ziphazamisa ukuthuthuka kwesifunda kukho konke kusuka kwezemfundo kuya kubantu.Ngokwesibonelo, izingane azikwazi ukufunda ngemva kokushona kwelanga, futhi abantu abakwazi ukuthola imigomo esindisa ukuphila ngenxa yokuntuleka kwesiqandisi esifanele.
Ukusabela ngenkuthalo ebuphofini bamandla kubalulekile ekufezeni Izinjongo Zokuthuthukiswa Okusimeme zeNhlangano Yezizwe Ezihlangene, okusho isidingo sokuthuthukiswa okunamandla nokuhlukahlukene kwengqalasizinda kagesi kanye nezinsiza zokuphehla ugesi esifundeni sonke sase-Sahara.
I-Utility 3.0, indawo yokuphehla ugesi ovuselelekayo ngaphandle kwegridi, imele imodeli entsha yokuphehla ugesi emhlabeni jikelele.
Ukunikezwa kwamandla sekuzoshintsha
Namuhla, amazwe angu-48 e-Afrika eseningizimu yeSahara, anenani labantu abayizigidi ezingu-800 ehlangene, aphehla ugesi olingana nelaseSpain kuphela.Imiklamo eminingana enezifiso zengqalasizinda iyaqhubeka ezwenikazi lonke ukuze kubhekwane nale nkinga.
I-West African Electric Power Community (i-WAPP) yandisa ukufinyelela kwegridi esifundeni futhi isungula uhlelo lokusabalalisa oluzokwabelwana phakathi kwamazwe angamalungu ayo.EMpumalanga Afrika, i-Renaissance Dam yase-Ethiopia izokwengeza amandla angu-6.45 gigawatts kugridi kazwelonke yezwe.
Eningizimu ekude e-Afrika, i-Angola njengamanje yakha izizinda ezinkulu zikagesi zelanga eziyisikhombisa ezifakwe amaphaneli elanga ayisigidi angaphehla ugesi wamamegawathi angu-370 ukuze aphendle amadolobha amakhulu nemiphakathi yasemaphandleni efanayo.
Amaphrojekthi anjalo adinga ukutshalwa kwezimali okukhulu kanye nempahla eyanele, ngakho isidingo sensimbi esifundeni nakanjani sizokhula njengoba ingqalasizinda yendawo yanda.Ugesi okhiqizwa emithonjeni evamile, njengegesi yemvelo, nawo uyanda, njengogesi okhiqizwa emithonjeni evuselelekayo.
Le miklamo emikhulu ichazwe “njengabashintshi bemidlalo” ezindaweni ezikhula ngokushesha emadolobheni ezizonweba ukufinyelela kugesi ophephile, othengekayo.Kodwa-ke, abantu abahlala ezindaweni ezikude kakhulu badinga izixazululo zangaphandle kwegridi, lapho amaphrojekthi amancane kagesi avuselelekayo angadlala indima enkulu.
Izindlela zobuchwepheshe ezihlukile esikhundleni sikagesi wegridi bezilokhu zehlisa kancane izindleko, ngokukhanyisa kwelanga kanye nokuthuthukiswa kwebhethri nobuchwepheshe bokukhanyisa i-LED (light-emitting diode) obusebenza kahle kakhulu futhi kusiza ekwandiseni ukufinyelela kugesi.
Amapulazi amancane ensimbi elanga angakhiwa ezindaweni ezinqamula lokho okubizwa ngokuthi “ibhande lelanga”, elinqamula inkabazwe yoMhlaba, ukuhlinzeka ngogesi kuyo yonke imiphakathi.Le ndlela ebheke phansi yokuphehla ugesi, ebizwa ngokuthi i-Utility 3.0, ingenye futhi uhlelo oluhambisanayo nemodeli yokusetshenziswa kwamandla evamile futhi ingamela ikusasa loguquko lwamandla omhlaba.
Ukukhiqizwa kwensimbi nobuchwepheshe bokucubungula kuzodlala indima ebalulekile ekuguqulweni kokuphakelwa kukagesi e-Afrika eseningizimu yeSahara, kokubili kumaphrojekthi amakhulu okuphehla ugesi okuhlanganisa izifunda eziningi kanye nakumaphrojekthi amancane, akhiqizwa endaweni.Lokhu kubalulekile ekubhekaneni nobumpofu bamandla, ukufeza Izinjongo Zokuthuthukiswa Okusimeme kanye nokudlulela kumodeli yokuthuthukiswa komnotho esimeme kakhudlwana.
