Imigaqo-nkqubo yeSizwe yokugcina amandla eKhaya

Kwiminyaka embalwa edlulileyo, umsebenzi womgaqo-nkqubo wokugcina amandla kwinqanaba likarhulumente uye wakhawuleza. Oku kungenxa yophando olukhulayo malunga netekhnoloji yokugcina amandla kunye nokunciphisa iindleko. Ezinye izinto, kuquka iinjongo kunye neemfuno zikarhulumente, nazo bezinegalelo ekwandeni komsebenzi.

Ukugcinwa kwamandla kunokunyusa ukuqina kwegridi yombane. Kubonelela ngamandla okuxhasa xa ukuveliswa kwezityalo zombane kuphazanyiswa. Kunganciphisa nokuphakama kokusetyenziswa kwenkqubo. Ngesi sizathu, ukugcinwa kwamandla kuthathwa njengento ebalulekileyo ekutshintsheni kwamandla acocekileyo. Njengoko izixhobo eziguquguqukayo eziguquguqukayo zifika kwi-intanethi, imfuneko yokuguquguquka kwenkqubo iyanda. Ubuchwephesha bokugcina bunokuthintela isidingo sokuphuculwa kwenkqubo ebiza kakhulu.

Nangona imigaqo-nkqubo yenqanaba lephondo yahlukile ngokwemida kunye nobukhali, yonke ijoliswe ekuphuculeni ukufikelela kokhuphiswano kwindawo yokugcina amandla. Eminye imigaqo-nkqubo ijoliswe ekwandiseni ukufikelela kwindawo yokugcina amandla ngelixa eminye yenzelwe ukuqinisekisa ukuba indawo yokugcina amandla idityaniswe ngokupheleleyo kwinkqubo yolawulo. Imigaqo-nkqubo yephondo ingasekelwa kumthetho, umyalelo wolawulo, uphando, okanye uphando lwekhomishini yeenkonzo. Kwiimeko ezininzi, yenzelwe ukunceda ukutshintsha iimarike ezikhuphisanayo ngemigaqo-nkqubo emiselweyo ngakumbi kwaye iququzelele utyalo-mali lokugcina. Eminye imigaqo-nkqubo ikwabandakanya izikhuthazo zotyalo-mali lokugcina ngoyilo lwamaxabiso kunye nenkxaso-mali.

Okwangoku, amazwe amathandathu amkele imigaqo-nkqubo yokugcina amandla. IArizona, iCalifornia, iMaryland, iMassachusetts, iNew York, kunye neOregon ngamaphondo amkele imigaqo-nkqubo. Iphondo ngalinye lithathe umgangatho ochaza umlinganiselo wamandla avuselelekayo kwipotifoliyo yalo. Amanye amazwe ambalwa ahlaziye neemfuno zawo zokucwangcisa izixhobo ukuze aquke ukugcina. I-Pacific Northwest National Laboratory ichonge iintlobo ezintlanu zemigaqo-nkqubo yokugcina amandla kwinqanaba lephondo. Le migaqo-nkqubo yahlukile ngokwemigaqo yobundlobongela, kwaye ayizizo zonke ezimiselweyo. Kunoko, ichonga iimfuno zokuqonda okuphuculweyo kwegridi kwaye ibonelela ngesakhelo sophando lwexesha elizayo. Le migaqo-nkqubo ingasebenza njengesicwangciso sokuba amanye amazwe ayilandele.

NgoJulayi, iMassachusetts yapasisa i-H.4857, ejolise ekwandiseni umgomo wokuthengwa kweendawo zokugcina umbane kurhulumente ukuya kwi-1,000 MW ngo-2025. Lo mthetho uyalela iKhomishini yeeNkonzo zoLuntu (i-PUC) yelizwe ukuba imisele imithetho ekhuthaza ukuthengwa kwezixhobo zokugcina umbane. Ikwayalela i-CPUC ukuba icinge ngamandla okugcinwa kwamandla okulibazisa okanye okuphelisa utyalo-mali olusekelwe kwi-fossil fuel.

ENevada, i-PUC yelizwe ithathe usukelo lokuthenga lwe-100 MW ngo-2020. Olu sukelo lwahlulwe lwaba ziiprojekthi eziqhagamshelwe kuthumelo, iiprojekthi eziqhagamshelwe kuthumelo, kunye neeprojekthi eziqhagamshelwe kubathengi. I-CPUC ikwakhuphe isikhokelo malunga novavanyo lokusebenzisa kakuhle iindleko kwiiprojekthi zokugcina. Ilizwe likwaphuhlise imithetho yeenkqubo zokunxibelelana ezilungelelanisiweyo. I-Nevada ikwathintela amaxabiso asekelwe kuphela kubanini babathengi bogcino lwamandla.

I-Clean Energy Group ibisebenzisana nabenzi bomgaqo-nkqubo karhulumente, abalawuli, kunye nabanye abachaphazelekayo ukukhuthaza ukusasazwa ngakumbi kweteknoloji yokugcina amandla. Ikwasebenze ukuqinisekisa ukusasazwa ngokulinganayo kwezibonelelo zokugcina, kuquka ukuchithwa kwezibonelelo kuluntu olunengeniso ephantsi. Ukongeza, i-Clean Energy Group iphuhlise inkqubo yesaphulelo sokugcina amandla esisiseko, efana nesaphulelo esinikezelwayo sokusasazwa kwelanga ngasemva kwemitha kumazwe amaninzi.
