IWorld Meteorological Organisation (WMO) ikhuphe ingxelo ngomhla we-11, isithi ubonelelo lombane kwihlabathi eliphuma kwimithombo yamandla acocekileyo kufuneka liphindeke kabini kule minyaka isibhozo izayo ukuze kuthintelwe ngokusebenzayo ukufudumala kwehlabathi; ngaphandle koko, ukhuseleko lwamandla ehlabathi lunokuphazamiseka ngenxa yokutshintsha kwemozulu, ukwanda kwemozulu embi, kunye nokunqongophala kwamanzi, phakathi kwezinye izinto.
Ngokutsho kwe-WMO's State of Climate Services 2022: Ingxelo yamandla, utshintsho lwemozulu lubeka imingcipheko kukhuseleko lwamandla ehlabathi njengoko iziganeko zemozulu ezibi kakhulu, phakathi kwezinye, ziba rhoqo kwaye zibukhali kwihlabathi, ezichaphazela ngokuthe ngqo ukuhanjiswa kwamafutha, ukuveliswa kwamandla, kunye nokomelela kwangoku. kunye neziseko zamandla zexesha elizayo.
UNobhala-Jikelele we-WMO uPetri Taras uthe icandelo lezamandla ngumthombo malunga nekota yesithathu yokukhutshwa kwerhasi yobushushu behlabathi kwaye kuphela ngokuphindwe kabini ukubonelelwa kombane okhutshwa kancinci kule minyaka isibhozo izayo kuya kuhlangatyezwana neethagethi ezifanelekileyo zokunciphisa ukukhutshwa kwegesi. , ihlaba ikhwelo ekuphuculweni kokusetyenziswa kombane welanga, umoya kunye noveliso lwamanzi, phakathi kwezinye.
Ingxelo iphawula ukuba unikezelo lwamandla ehlabathi luxhomekeke kakhulu kubutyebi bamanzi. I-87% yombane wehlabathi jikelele osuka kwi-thermal, inyukliya kunye ne-hydroelectric systems ngo-2020 ixhomekeke ngokuthe ngqo kumanzi akhoyo. Kwangeli xesha linye ama-33% omzi-mveliso wamandla obushushu axhomekeke kumanzi amatsha ukuze apholise abekwe kwiindawo ezinqongophele kakhulu amanzi, njengoko kunjalo nge-15% yemizi-mveliso yamandla enyukliya esele ikho, kwaye le pesenti kulindeleke ukuba inyuke iye kuma-25% kumaziko ombane enyukliya. kwiminyaka engama-20 ezayo. Utshintsho oluya kumandla ahlaziyekayo luya kunceda ekudambiseni uxinzelelo olukhulayo lwehlabathi kubutyebi bamanzi, njengoko amandla elanga nawomoya esebenzisa amanzi amancinci kakhulu kunezibaso zefosili eqhelekileyo kunye nezixhobo zamandla enyukliya.
Ngokukodwa, ingxelo icebisa ukuba amandla avuselelekayo kufuneka aphuhliswe ngamandla e-Afrika. I-Afrika ijongene neempembelelo ezinzima ezifana nembalela exhaphakileyo ebangelwa kukutshintsha kwemozulu, kwaye ukuhla kwexabiso lobuchwepheshe bamandla acocekileyo kunika ithemba elitsha ngekamva le-Afrika. Kwiminyaka engama-20 edlulileyo, yi-2% kuphela yotyalo-mali lwamandla acocekileyo e-Afrika. I-Afrika ine-60% yezona zixhobo zibalaseleyo zelanga emhlabeni, kodwa yi-1% kuphela yomthamo wePV ofakiweyo wehlabathi. Kukho ithuba lokuba amazwe ase-Afrika kwixesha elizayo abambe amandla angasetyenziswanga kwaye abe ngabadlali abaphambili kwimarike.
