Ukuguqulwa kwamandla eJalimane kusekelwe ekuthuthukisweni kwe- amandla avuselelekayo nasekwandiseni ukusebenza kahle nokusebenza kahle kwemithombo yamandla ekhona namuhla. Ngenhloso yokwehlisa kakhulu isidingo samaJalimane samandla angenisiwe, bakhuphule ngokwengeziwe lokhu kusebenza kwamandla okuvumela ukwakhiwa kwezinkulungwane zemisebenzi emisha futhi ngaleyo ndlela kube nomthelela esakhamuzini.
IJalimane inezifiso eziphakeme kakhulu kunamanye amazwe e-EU. Lihlele kabusha ukunikezwa kwamandla ngendlela yokuthi ngaphezu kuka-80% wamandla asetshenziswa amaJalimane avela emithonjeni evuselelekayo ngo-2050. Ukwandisa ukusetshenziswa kwamandla elanga nawomoya nakho kukhulise ukuguquguquka ezimakethe zikagesi.
Ngenxa yokwandiswa kwamandla avuselelekayo, intengo kagesi yehlisiwe ukuze kuhlomule izimboni ezinamandla amakhulu okusetshenziswa. Ukwenza inzuzo ngomfutho wokuvuselelwa, izimboni eziningi nazo batshale imali kulolu hlobo lwamandla aluhlaza.
Ukuthunyelwa kukagesi eJalimane kuyanda ngenxa ye- amanani aphansi kagesi ovela kuzimpahla ezivuselelekayo. Umthamo welanga owengeziwe onawo ukukhiqiza amandla, lapho uzothumela ugesi ngokwengeziwe kwamanye amazwe.
Esikhathini seminyaka eyi-17, imisebenzi yokukala ukusebenza kahle kwamandla ezimbonini nasezinkampanini ikhiqize okungaphezulu kwe- Imisebenzi emisha engama-400.000, ezisizile ekulweni nokungasebenzi kanye nobuphofu. Leyo misebenzi isemkhakheni wezinsizakalo zokwakha nokubonisana.
Amandla avuselelekayo asetshenziswa kakhulu amaJalimane ayasebenza umoya, intuthuko nokuthuthuka kwayo okudala amathuba emisebenzi amaningi, amandla atholakala nge-biomass nasendaweni yesithathu yelanga.
Ngo-2014 nxazonke Abantu abangu-355.000 basebenze emikhakheni yamandla avuselelekayo.
