Njengoko utshintsho lwemozulu kunye nemiba yokusingqongileyo isanda, ukukhangela amandla acocekileyo, asebenzayo, nazinzileyo kuye kwaba yinto ephambili kwihlabathi liphela. I-solar photovoltaic (PV) kunye namandla enyukliya ziiteknoloji ezimbini ezibalaseleyo zamandla acocekileyo ezinamandla amakhulu. Eli nqaku liphonononga iindlela zabo zophuhliso lwexesha elizayo kunye nokuba zingathatha indawo yemithombo yamandla yendabuko.
Itekhnoloji ye-solar PV yenze inkqubela phambili enkulu kwiminyaka emininzi edlulileyo kwaye kulindeleke ukuba iqhubele phambili kwezi nkalo zilandelayo: ukuphucula ukusebenza kakuhle, ukunciphisa iindleko zokuvelisa, ukuphucula ukuqina, kunye nokudibanisa ulawulo olukrelekrele. Iiphaneli zelanga zangoku zifikelela ekusebenzeni kakuhle kokuguqula okuqhelekileyo kwe-20%, kunye nethuba lokudlula i-30% kwixesha elizayo. Iindleko zokuvelisa iiphaneli zelanga kulindeleke ukuba zehle nge-60% eyongezelelweyo ngo-2030. Ngaphezu koko, ukuqhubela phambili kwizixhobo kunye noyilo kuya kuphucula ubude bexesha lepaneli kunye nokuziqhelanisa neendawo ezixineneyo, ngelixa iinkqubo zolawulo olukrelekrele ziya kuphucula ukusetyenziswa kwamandla. I-International Energy Agency iqikelela ukuba amandla e-PV kwihlabathi liphela aya kudlula i-1.5 terawatts ngo-2030, edlala indima ebalulekileyo ekutshintsheni kwamandla kwihlabathi liphela.
Amandla enyukliya, njengomthombo wamandla ococekileyo nosebenzayo, nawo anamandla amakhulu ophuhliso lwexesha elizayo. Iindawo eziphambili ziquka ii-reactor zesizukulwana sesine, ulawulo oluphuculweyo lwenkunkuma yenyukliya, iteknoloji yokudibanisa inyukliya, kunye namanyathelo okhuseleko aphuculweyo. Ii-reactor eziphambili zijolise ekwandiseni ukusebenza kakuhle, ukhuseleko, kunye nokuzinza, kwaye kulindeleke ukuba kusetyenziswe urhwebo ngo-2050. Ubuchwepheshe obuphuculweyo bokuphatha nokugcina inkunkuma yenyukliya, njengokulahla okunzulu kwejoloji kunye nonyango lweplasma, kujongana neengxaki ezihlala zikhona. Ukudibanisa inyukliya, nangona kusavavanywa, kunika umthombo wamandla ongenamkhawulo ongenanto incinci kunye nokhuseleko oluphezulu. I-International Atomic Energy Agency iqikelela ukuba amandla enyukliya aya kuphinda kabini kwiminyaka engama-20, enokubonelela ngaphezu kwesithathu seemfuno zombane zaseYurophu.
Nangona i-solar PV kunye namandla enyukliya zijongene nemingeni ethile, zibonelela ngeendlela ezibalulekileyo zokunciphisa ukuxhomekeka kumafutha efosili. Ukuxhomekeka kwe-solar PV kwimozulu kunye nokufumaneka komhlaba kwahlukile kwiindleko zokuqala eziphezulu zamandla enyukliya kunye nemiba yokulawula inkunkuma. Nangona le mida, zombini imithombo yamandla iyahambelana kwaye ibalulekile ekufezekiseni ikamva elizinzileyo. Inkqubela phambili kubuchwepheshe, kwiziseko zophuhliso, nakwimigaqo-nkqubo iya kwenza ukuba le mithombo yamandla acocekileyo idlale indima ephambili ekuguqulweni kwamandla kwihlabathi liphela.
