Emphakathini wanamuhla, imishini yamandla inguMthombo wamandla ezimpilo zethu nokukhiqizwa. Lawa madivaysi amboza ukukhiqizwa, ukuhambisa, ukusatshalaliswa kanye nokusetshenziswa kwamandla kagesi. Izibani zedolobha, imigqa yokukhiqiza efektri, izinto zasendlini kanye nezindawo zobuchwepheshe obuphakeme bonke bathembela kuzo. Imishini yokuphehla yamandla ifaka i-thermal, i-hydropower, umoya kanye nama-solar amandla gerators, ngenkathi imishini yokuhambisa enjengezindlela ezinkulu zamandla, ama-transformers, amabhokisi okuhambisa kanye namakhabethe okuhambisa kanye nokusatshalaliswa kwamandla kagesi.
Kodwa-ke, ukuthuthukiswa kwemishini yamandla kubhekana nezinselelo eziningi njengokusimama kwamandla, izidingo zokuvikelwa kwemvelo nokufunwa kwamandla okukhulayo. Lezi zinto ziye zashukumisela imboni yezemishini yamandla ukuthi iqhubeke nokusungula, ukuthuthukisa imishini yokuphehla yamandla kagesi esebenza kahle nenemvelo, yenza ngcono izinhlelo zokuhambisa amandla, nokwandisa amasistimu wokusabalalisa amandla.
I-Xinzhe ihlinzeka ngezixazululo ezisezingeni eliphakeme zezesekeli zensimbi kanye namabakaki ensimbi yale mishini, futhi isebenza ngesandla nomkhakha wamandla ukuletha lula okwengeziwe kanye nokumangala empilweni yomuntu futhi inikele ekwakheni umphakathi ongcono wesikhathi esizayo.
