◉Njengoko imfuno yehlabathi yamandla avuselelekayo iqhubeka nokunyuka,Amandla esola, njengenxalenye ebalulekileyo, isetyenziswa kakhulu eOstreliya ngokukhawuleza. IkwiSouthern Hemisphere, iOstreliya inemihlaba emikhulu kunye nezixhobo ezininzi zelanga, nto leyo ebonelela ngeemeko ezikhethekileyo zophuhliso kunye nokusetyenziswa kwetekhnoloji yelanga. Eli nqaku liza kuhlola imeko yangoku yeenkqubo zokuxhasa amandla elanga eOstreliya kunye nempembelelo yazo.

◉Okokuqala, iindlela eziphambili zeiinkqubo zenkxaso yamandla elangakuquka ukuveliswa kombane nge-photovoltaic (PV) kunye neenkqubo zokufudumeza amanzi ngelanga. Kwiminyaka yakutshanje, inani elikhulayo leentsapho kunye namaziko orhwebo aqalise ukufaka iinkqubo ze-photovoltaic ukuze kusetyenziswe amandla acocekileyo. Ukongeza, iinkqubo zokufudumeza amanzi ngelanga ziye zasetyenziswa kakhulu kwiindawo zokuhlala zase-Australia, ingakumbi kwiindawo ezikude, nto leyo enciphisa ngempumelelo ukuxhomekeka kwimithombo yamandla yemveli.

◉Ngokwezibalo ezivela kwi-Australian Renewable Energy Agency, ngo-2022, amandla esizwe okufakelwa kweenkqubo ze-photovoltaic ayedlule kwi-30 yeebhiliyoni zeewatts, egubungela phantse onke amazwe kunye nemimandla yeli lizwe. Le nto ayibonisi nje kuphela ukuqatshelwa koluntu kunye nenkxaso yamandla avuselelekayo kodwa ikwabonisa ukukhuthazwa okuqinileyo kurhulumente kwinqanaba lomgaqo-nkqubo. Urhulumente wase-Australia uqalise amanyathelo ahlukeneyo okukhuthaza ukwamkelwa kweenkqubo zamandla elanga, ezinje ngezibonelelo zelanga zokuhlala kunye neenkqubo zemali mboleko eluhlaza, okuvumela amakhaya amaninzi ukuba akwazi ukuhlawula iindleko zokufakelwa kwezibonelelo zelanga.

◉Ngaphezu koko, ukusetyenziswa ngokubanzi kweenkqubo zokuxhasa amandla elanga nako kunegalelo kuphuhliso loqoqosho lwase-Australia. Ishishini lelanga elikhulayo lidale amathuba emisebenzi amaninzi, linceda amacandelo anxulumene nalo kuphando lwetekhnoloji nophuhliso ukuya ekufakweni nasekugcinweni kwenkqubo. Ukongeza, uphuhliso lwamandla elanga lunceda ekwahlukaniseni uqoqosho lwengingqi, apho iindawo ezininzi zasemaphandleni zifezekisa utshintsho lwesakhiwo kunye nokuphuculwa ngeeprojekthi zelanga.

◉Nangona kunjalo, ukusetyenziswa kweinkxaso yamandla elangaiinkqubo nazo zijongene nemingeni eliqela. Okokuqala, nangona kukho ubuninzi bemithombo yelanga, ukusebenza kakuhle kokuveliswa kombane kuchaphazeleka kakhulu ziimeko zemozulu, ingakumbi ngexesha lamafu okanye lemvula xa ukuveliswa kombane kunokwehla kakhulu. Okwesibini, ukuqhubela phambili kwitekhnoloji yokugcina amandla kufuneka kuqiniswe ngakumbi ukuze kujongwane nokungafani phakathi kokuveliswa kombane welanga kunye namaxesha okusetyenziswa. Ngenxa yesi sizathu, amaziko ophando ase-Australia kunye namashishini aqhubeka nokwandisa utyalo-mali kwitekhnoloji yokugcina ukuze kujongwane nale mingeni.

◉Ngamafutshane, ukusetyenziswa kweenkqubo zokuxhasa amandla elanga e-Australia kuye kwaphumelela kakhulu, kukhuthaza uphuhliso loqoqosho kunye notshintsho lwamandla. Nangona kunjalo, xa kujongwe imingeni, intsebenziswano phakathi kukarhulumente, amashishini, kunye namaziko ophando ibalulekile ekuqhubeleni phambili inkqubela phambili kwitekhnoloji yelanga kunye nokufezekisa iinjongo zophuhliso oluzinzileyo. Kwixesha elizayo, amandla elanga aya kuqhubeka nokuba yinxalenye ebalulekileyo yesakhiwo samandla e-Australia, enika inkxaso eqinileyo kwinkululeko yamandla yesizwe kunye nokukhuselwa kokusingqongileyo.
