I-China inikele ngama-jeneretha eNingizimu Afrika

Izwe lase-China inikele ngama-generator angu-450 eNingizimu Afrika. Amajeneretha azosiza uma kukhona ukunqanyulwa kukagesi. Azosetshenziswa ezindaweni ezifana nemitholampilo, izikole kanye nezinkantolo. UNgqongqoshe Wezogesi uthi amajeneretha azokweseka izinsiza ngesikhathi uhulumeni esebenzela ukuqeda ukunqanyulwa kukagesi nokwenza amandla athembeke kakhulu.

UNGQONGQOSHE wezikaGesi uDkt Kgosientsho Ramokgopa umukele umthwalo wokuqala wezimpahla zikagesi ezinikelwe yiPeople’s Republic of China. Lokhu kwenzeka njengoba izwe libhekene nokushesha ukucinywa kukagesi, njengoba inkampani kagesi edonsa kanzima i-Eskom iqinisa ukucima kukagesi ukuze ifinyelele esigabeni sesihlanu nesesithupha.

Ngo-Agasti, ngesikhathi sokuvakasha kukamongameli u-Xi Jinping, i-China yazibophezela ukuxhasa ukuphehlwa kukagesi eNingizimu Afrika ngokunikela ngezinto zikagesi eziphuthumayo ezingabiza u-R167 million. Iphinde yathola uxhaso lwemali elinganiselwa ezigidini ezingama-R500 njengosizo lwentuthuko.

Ngaleso sikhathi, uRamokgopa uthe lezi zinsiza zizohlanganisa ama-solar PV, amabhethri, ama-inverter namajeneretha, azosetshenziselwa ukuphehla izikhungo zikahulumeni ezifana nezibhedlela, imitholampilo kanye nezokuhlunyeleliswa kwezimilo. Esitatimendeni, iHhovisi likaMongameli lithi umnikelo wezinto zokusebenza uyingxenye yohlelo losizo lwezobuchwepheshe olwafakwa phakathi nokuvakasha kwenhloko yezwe laseChina.

Umthwalo wokuqala, ofike eNingizimu Afrika, unamajeneretha kaphethiloli angama-450, azosatshalaliswa ezikhungweni zokusiza umphakathi ezweni lonke, kusho yena. “Amajeneretha azosetshenziswa njengesipele ukudambisa umthelela wokucisha kukagesi ekulethweni kwezidingongqangi emitholampilo, ezikoleni nasezinkantolo, kuyilapho uhulumeni esaqhubeka nokuqalisa uhlelo lokusebenza kukagesi ukuze ekugcineni kuqedwe ukucishwa kukagesi nokudala ukuvikeleka kwamandla okuqhubekayo.”
