Ngokugcina amandla amaningi we-Energy Sergy endaweni, izinhlelo zokugcina amandla zokuhlala zinciphisa ubunzima kugridi ngesikhathi sezidingo zesibalo. Lokhu kusiza ukunciphisa ukuxinana kwegridi, kuthuthukisa ukuqina kohlelo, futhi kwehlise ubungozi bama-blackouts noma ama-brownouts. Izinhlelo zokugcina amandla zokuhlala zinika amandla abaninikhaya ukuthi basebenzise okuningi kwamandla abo elanga noma avuselelekayo, kunciphisa isidingo samandla akhiqizwe amafutha e-fossil. Ngokugcina amandla avuselelekayo avuselelekayo, lezi zixazululo zifaka isandla kuhlelo lwamandla aluhlaza okwesikhashana nolwenzile, ukunciphisa ukuphuma kwegesi ebamba ukushisa kanye nomthelela wezemvelo. Izinhlelo eziningi zokugcina amandla ezigcina zinikela ngokuqapha okukude nokulawula amakhono okulawula, okuvumela abaninikhaya ukuthi babheke ukusetshenziswa kwabo kwamandla, isimo sebhethri, namazinga okukhokhisa. Lokhu kunikeza ukubonakala okukhulu nokulawula ukusetshenziswa kwamandla, okwenza ukuphathwa kwamandla asebenza kahle futhi okusebenzayo. Izisombululo zokugcina amandla zokuhlala zivame ukuguqulwa, okuvumela abaninikhaya ukuthi bangeze amandla ebhethri amaningi njengoba amandla abo edinga ukuguqulwa noma akhule. Lokhu kukhubazeka nokuguquguquka kunikeza abanini khaya amandla okwenza ngezifiso uhlelo lwabo lokugcina amandla ngokwezidingo zabo ezithile.
