Ukusuka eJalimane besilokhu sizwa izindaba eziningi ezinyangeni ezedlule. Kulokho okwakunciphisa i- ukusetshenziswa kwamalahle ngo-13% kusukela ngo-2003, 7 i-gW entsha amandla omoya avunyelwe ukufakwa kwakho noma njengoba unakho ukukhula okuholelekile kulolu hlobo lwamandla, IJalimane imvamisa ingumthombo omuhle wezindaba futhi lokho kumaka njengenye yamazwe abheja kakhulu kokuvuselelwa kabusha.
Lokhu kubangela ukuthi izitshalo zamandla avuselelekayo eJalimane zenze kukhiqize u-32,5% kagesi wezwe engxenyeni yokuqala yonyaka wezi-2015, ikakhulu ngenxa yamandla amasha omoya ongezwe muva nje. Eminye imininingwane enikezwe yiFederal of Renewable Energy (BEE) ngoLwesibili olwedlule.
IJalimane ikhombise ukukhula okukhulu kumandla omoya, kodwa ngasikhathi sinye ibonile ukwehla kwe-photovoltaics kanye nezinsiza ze-biofuel, njengoba kusho uHermann Falk we-BEE.
Ngisho izinhloso ezincane zonyaka obekwe nguhulumeni azizange zisebenze futhi baye behluleka ngokuphelele. U-Falk ubalule ukuthi imigomo ebaluleke kakhulu iyadingeka ukuze kudlulelwe renovables verdes eJalimane.
Ngokwezibalo ezinikezwe yiGlobal Wind Energy Counci (GWEC), Amandla omoya waseJalimane akhule ngo-5,28 gW ngonyaka wezi-2014 safinyelela ku-39,17 gW. Ifake kuphela i-1.9 gW yamandla elanga ngonyaka owedlule, uma kuqhathaniswa nalokho eyayiku-2013 nge-3,3 gW.
BEE futhi kukhombe ebuthakathakeni bokukhula kancane kokuvuselelekayo yiziphi izingxenye zokuhamba nokushisa. Ngaphansi kwamaphesenti ayi-11 wokushisa eJalimane kuvela emithonjeni yamandla avuselelekayo.
Abasetshenzisiwe babe ngaphezulu nje kwamaphesenti ayi-14 wokusetshenziswa kokugcina kweJalimane esikhathini esibuyekezwayo ngokwezibalo ze-BEE uqobo. Inhloso yezwe ukufinyelela esabelweni se-18% ekupheleni kwalesi shumi leminyaka.
