Abantu abayizigidi ezingamakhulu ayisithupha e-Afrika baphila ngaphandle kokuthola ugesi, cishe amaphesenti angama-48 abantu. Umthelela ohlanganisiwe we-covid-19 ubhubhane kanye nenkinga yamandla omhlaba jikelele uphinde wehlise amandla okuhlinzekwa kwamandla e-Afrika. Ngasikhathi sinye, i-Afrika iyizwekazi lesibili elinabantu abaningi kanye nezwekazi elikhulisa ngokushesha. Ngo-2050, kuzoba sekhaya ukuya ngaphezulu kwekota yabantu emhlabeni. Kulindelwe ukuthi i-Afrika izobhekana nengcindezi eyandayo yokuthuthukisa nokusebenzisa izinsizakusebenza zamandla.
Kepha ngasikhathi sinye, i-Afrika ine-60% yemithombo yamandla elanga lomhlaba wonke, kanye namanye amandla anwebelayo avuselelekayo anjengemoya, amandla we-geothermal kanye namanzi, enza i-Afrika izwe lokugcina elishisayo elingakaze lithuthukiswe ngezinga elikhulu. Ukusiza i-Afrika ukuthuthukisa le mithombo yamandla eluhlaza ukuze uzuze abantu base-Afrika kungenye yemisebenzi yezinkampani zaseChina e-Afrika, futhi zikhombisile ukuzibophezela kwazo ngezenzo zokhonkolo.
Umkhosi owephula umhlaba wonke wabanjwa e-Abuja ngoSepthemba 13 wesigaba sesibili sephrojekthi yesibani se-China-sasizwa i-Solar-Powered Spaned Signal Lamp e-Nigeria. Ngokusho kwemibiko, iphrojekthi ye-Abuja eSolar Rogram Clogical Graffic ihlukaniswe ngezigaba ezimbili. Isigaba sokuqala sephrojekthi sizakhe amalambu omgwaqo elanga ezindaweni ezingama-74. Le phrojekthi ibilokhu isebenza kahle ngoba yanikezwa ngaphezulu ngoSepthemba 2015. Ngo-2021, iChina neNepal basayine isivumelwano sokubambisana esigabeni sesibili sephrojekthi, okuhlose ukusatshalaliswa kwezindawo ezisele ze-98 esifundeni esikhulu. Manje iChina yenze kahle ngesithembiso sayo eNigeria ngokuletha ukukhanya kwamandla elanga phambili emigwaqweni yenhlokodolobha i-Abuja.
Yize i-Afrika inama-60% emithombo yamandla elanga lomhlaba, ine-1% kuphela yokufakwa kwamandla okuqukethwe kwamandla we-Photovoltaic amandla emhlabeni. Lokhu kukhombisa ukuthi ukuthuthukiswa kwamandla avuselelekayo, ikakhulukazi amandla elanga, e-Afrika anamathemba amahle. Ngokwesimo somhlaba wonke sombiko wamandla avuselelekayo 2022 okhishwe yi-United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), Off-GridImikhiqizo yelangaKuthengiswe e-Afrika kufinyelelwe amayunithi ayizigidi eziyi-7.4 ngonyaka we-2021, okwenza kube yimakethe enkulu kunazo zonke emhlabeni, yize kunomthelela wobhubhamende we-19. Empumalanga ye-East Africa yahola indlela enamayunithi ayizigidi ezi-4; IKenya kwakungumthengisi omkhulu kakhulu wesifunda, onamayunithi ayizigidi eziyi-1,7; I-Ethiopia ibalwa okwesibili, ithengisa amayunithi angama-439,000. ICentral and Southern Africa yabona ukukhula okubalulekile, ngokuthengisa eZambia Up 77 amaphesenti unyaka ngonyaka, eRwanda Up 30 amaphesenti angama-30 namaphesenti ayi-9. I-West Africa, ithengiswe amayunithi ayisigidi ayisigidi, incane. Engxenyeni yokuqala yalo nyaka, i-Afrika ingenise i-1.6gw yamamojula we-PV waseChina, up 41% unyaka nonyaka.
NinginingiImikhiqizo ye-PhotovoltaicIsungulwe yiChina ngokusetshenziswa kwezakhamuzi yamukelwa kahle ngabantu base-Afrika. EKenya, ibhayisekili elinamandla elanga elingase lisetshenziselwe ukuthutha nokuthengisa izimpahla emgwaqweni lithola ukuthandwa; I-solar backpacks kanye izambulela ziyathandwa emakethe yaseNingizimu Afrika. Le mikhiqizo ingasetshenziselwa ukushaja kanye nokukhanyisa ngaphezu kokusetshenziswa kwayo, okwenza kube yinto elungele imvelo yasendaweni nasemakethe.
