Ngā Kaupapahere Rokiroki Pūngao Kāinga ā-Motu

I ngā tau kua taha ake nei, kua tere ake ngā mahi kaupapa here rokiroki pūngao ā-rohe. Ko te nuinga o tēnei nā te tipu haere o ngā rangahau mō te hangarau rokiroki pūngao me te whakaiti i ngā utu. Ko ētahi atu āhuatanga, tae atu ki ngā whāinga me ngā matea ā-rohe, kua whai wāhi hoki ki te pikinga ake o ngā mahi.

Ka taea e te rokiroki pūngao te whakanui ake i te pakari o te whatunga hiko. Ka whakarato i te hiko tārua ina mutu te whakaputanga o te tipu hiko. Ka taea hoki e ia te whakaiti i ngā tihi o te whakamahinga pūnaha. Nā konei, e kiia ana he mea nui te rokiroki ki te whakawhiti pūngao ma. I te mea ka nui ake ngā rauemi whakahou ka taea te whakahou, ka piki ake te hiahia mō te ngāwari o te pūnaha. Ka taea hoki e ngā hangarau rokiroki te whakaroa i te hiahia mō ngā whakapainga pūnaha utu nui.

Ahakoa he rerekē te whānuitanga me te kaha o ngā kaupapa here ā-rohe, ko te whāinga matua o ēnei kaupapa here katoa he whakarei ake i te urunga whakataetae ki te rokiroki pūngao. Ko ētahi kaupapa here he whakanui ake i te urunga ki te rokiroki, ko ētahi he mea hanga hei whakarite kia whakauruhia katoatia te rokiroki pūngao ki roto i te tukanga ture. Ka taea e ngā kaupapa here ā-rohe te hangai ki te ture, ki te whakahau a te kāwanatanga, ki tētahi rangahau, ki tētahi rangahau rānei a te komihana ratonga. I roto i te nuinga o ngā wā, kua hangaia hei āwhina i te whakakapi i ngā mākete whakataetae ki ngā kaupapa here he nui ake te whakaritenga me te whakahaere i ngā haumitanga rokiroki. Kei roto hoki i ētahi kaupapa here he whakatenatena mō ngā haumitanga rokiroki mā te hoahoa reiti me ngā tautoko pūtea.

I tēnei wā, e ono ngā kawanatanga kua whakamahi i ngā kaupapa here rokiroki pūngao. Ko Arizona, ko California, ko Maryland, ko Massachusetts, ko New York, me Oregon ngā kawanatanga kua whakamahi i ngā kaupapa here. Kua whakamahi ia kawanatanga i tētahi paerewa e tohu ana i te ōwehenga o te pūngao whakahou i roto i tana putea. Kua whakahoutia hoki e ētahi kawanatanga ā rātou whakaritenga whakamahere rauemi kia uru atu ai te rokiroki. Kua tautuhia e te Pacific Northwest National Laboratory e rima ngā momo kaupapa here rokiroki pūngao taumata-whenua. He rerekē te kaha o ēnei kaupapa here, ā, ehara i te mea he ture katoa. Engari, ka tautuhia e rātou ngā hiahia mō te māramatanga pai ake o te whatunga hiko, ā, ka whakaratohia he anga mō ngā rangahau ā muri ake nei. Ka taea hoki e ēnei kaupapa here te noho hei mahere mā ētahi atu kawanatanga hei whai.

I te marama o Hūrae, i whakamanahia e Massachusetts te H.4857, e whai ana kia whakapiki ake i te whāinga hoko rokiroki a te kawanatanga ki te 1,000 MW i te tau 2025. E whakahau ana te ture i te Komihana Ratonga Tūmatanui (PUC) o te kawanatanga kia whakatakoto ture e whakatairanga ana i te hoko ratonga o ngā rauemi rokiroki pūngao. E whakahau ana hoki i te CPUC kia whakaarohia te kaha o te rokiroki pūngao ki te whakaroa, ki te whakakore rānei i ngā haumitanga hanganga e ahu mai ana i ngā wahie pūmua.

I Nevada, kua whakaaetia e te PUC o te kawanatanga he whāinga hoko o te 100 MW i te tau 2020. Kua wehea tēnei whāinga ki ngā kaupapa e hono ana ki te tuku hiko, ngā kaupapa e hono ana ki te tohatoha hiko, me ngā kaupapa e hono ana ki te kiritaki. Kua tukuna hoki e te CPUC he aratohu mō ngā whakamātautau whai huatanga utu mō ngā kaupapa rokiroki. Kua whakawhanakehia hoki e te kawanatanga he ture mō ngā tukanga hononga māmā. Ka āraia hoki e Nevada ngā utu e ahu mai ana i te mana rokiroki hiko o ngā kiritaki anake.

Kua mahi tahi te Clean Energy Group me ngā kaihanga kaupapa here ā-rohe, ngā kaiwhakahaere, me ētahi atu kaipupuri moni ki te tautoko i te whakanui ake i te whakatinanatanga o ngā hangarau rokiroki pūngao. Kua mahi hoki ki te whakarite kia tika te tohatoha o ngā kaupapa whakatenatena rokiroki, tae atu ki ngā wehewehenga mō ngā hapori iti te whiwhi. Hei tāpiri, kua whakawhanakehia e Clean Energy Group tētahi kaupapa whakahoki moni rokiroki pūngao taketake, he rite ki ngā whakahoki moni e tukuna ana mō te whakatinanatanga o te pūngao rā i muri i te mita i roto i te maha o ngā kawanatanga.
