Amandla ahlaziyekayo anamandla ngakumbi nangakumbi kwiimarike nakukhuphiswano. Ziyasebenza ngakumbi kwaye ziphuculwe ngakumbi, nto leyo ebenza ukuba baqhubeke befunda kwaye benobuchule. Kunyaka ophelileyo kuthathwe njengonyaka wamandla ahlaziyekayo. Kunyaka omnye kuphela amandla aluhlaza afikelela Iigigawathi ezili-153 (GW), i-15% ngaphezulu kunango-2014.
Oku kuthetha ukuba okokuqala ezimbalini, amandla ahlaziyekayo amele ngaphezulu kwesiqingatha segalelo lamandla lonyaka, ukugqwesa kwiimfuno kunye nokusetyenziswa kwamalahle ngokwemiqathango yomthamo oqokelelweyo ofakelweyo.
I-Arhente yaMandla yeHlabathi (i-IEA) Ucacise ukuba amandla ahlaziyekayo afumene ukukhawulezisa okuhle kwiimarike kunye nakuphuhliso lwabo. Nangona kunjalo, oku kunyuka kokusetyenziswa kwayo akwanele ukufezekisa iinjongo ezigqityiweyo zokumisa iziphumo zotshintsho lwemozulu.
Esinye sezizathu esenza ukuba amandla ahlaziyekayo abe namandla ngakumbi kwintengiso kukuba iindleko zemveliso ziye zehla kakhulu. Oku kubulela ukwamkelwa kwemigaqo-nkqubo ezinzileyo kunye nenkqubela phambili yetekhnoloji yokwandiswa kweemarike ezintsha ezinemithombo engcono evuselelekayo.
Umbono xa utyala imali kwizinto ezinokuhlaziywa kukuba ifuna umbono wexesha elide. Oko kukuthi, iindleko zokuqala zotyalo-mali zinokubiza, kodwa ekuhambeni kwexesha ziyazihlawulela kwaye kukho izibonelelo ezilungileyo. Kuqikelelwa ukuba ngo-2021, amandla okuvelisa umbane avela kumandla ahlaziyekayo izakukhula ngama-42%. Le mbono inethemba ngakumbi kunaleyo yenziwa ngo-2015.
I-China ihleli njenge inkokeli yehlabathi engenakuphikiswa ekwandiseni amandla ahlaziyekayo kunye nokukhathalela umgangatho womoya. Kwi-European Union, kuyacaciswa ukuba ukuqhubela phambili kwezinto ezihlaziyiweyo kuxhomekeke ekukhuleni okuncinci kwamandla, ukuguqula umthetho olindelekileyo kwintengiso kunye nokucacisa ukungaqiniseki kwezopolitiko kwezinye iimarike.
