Izinqubomgomo Zikazwelonke Zokugcina Amandla Ekhaya

Eminyakeni embalwa edlule, umsebenzi wenqubomgomo yokugcina amandla ezingeni lesifundazwe uye washesha. Lokhu kungenxa kakhulu yocwaningo olukhulayo ngobuchwepheshe bokugcina amandla kanye nokunciphisa izindleko. Ezinye izici, okuhlanganisa imigomo nezidingo zesifundazwe, nazo bezilokhu zinegalelo ekwandeni komsebenzi.

Ukugcinwa kwamandla kungandisa ukuqina kwegridi kagesi. Kuhlinzeka ngamandla okusekela lapho ukukhiqizwa kwesitshalo sikagesi kuphazamiseka. Kunganciphisa futhi amazinga aphezulu okusetshenziswa kwesistimu. Ngenxa yalesi sizathu, ukugcinwa kwamandla kubhekwa njengokubalulekile ekushintsheni kwamandla ahlanzekile. Njengoba izinsiza ezivuselelekayo eziningi zifika ku-inthanethi, isidingo sokuguquguquka kwesistimu siyakhula. Ubuchwepheshe bokugcina amandla bunganciphisa nesidingo sokuthuthukiswa kwesistimu okubizayo.

Nakuba izinqubomgomo zezinga lesifundazwe zihluka ngokuya ngobukhulu kanye nobudlova, zonke zihloselwe ukuthuthukisa ukufinyelela okuncintisanayo ekugcineni amandla. Ezinye izinqubomgomo zihloselwe ukwandisa ukufinyelela ekugcineni amandla kanti ezinye zenzelwe ukuqinisekisa ukuthi ukugcina amandla kuhlanganiswe ngokugcwele enkambisweni yokulawula. Izinqubomgomo zesifundazwe zingasekelwa emthethweni, umyalo wokuphatha, uphenyo, noma uphenyo lwekhomishini yezinsiza. Ezimweni eziningi, zenzelwe ukusiza ekuthatheni indawo izimakethe ezincintisanayo ngezinqubomgomo ezilawula kakhulu futhi zenze kube lula ukutshalwa kwezimali zokugcina. Ezinye izinqubomgomo zifaka phakathi izikhuthazo zokutshalwa kwezimali zokugcina ngokuklama amanani kanye nezibonelelo zezimali.

Njengamanje, izifundazwe eziyisithupha zamukele izinqubomgomo zokugcina amandla. I-Arizona, iCalifornia, iMaryland, iMassachusetts, iNew York, kanye ne-Oregon yizifundazwe ezamukele izinqubomgomo. Isifundazwe ngasinye samukele indinganiso echaza isilinganiso samandla avuselelekayo kuphothifoliyo yaso. Izifundazwe ezimbalwa nazo zibuyekeze izidingo zazo zokuhlela izinsiza ukuze zifake isitoreji. I-Pacific Northwest National Laboratory ithole izinhlobo ezinhlanu zezinqubomgomo zokugcina amandla ezingeni lesifundazwe. Lezi zinqubomgomo ziyahlukahluka ngokuya ngobudlova, futhi akuzona zonke ezinqunyiwe. Kunalokho, zikhomba izidingo zokuqonda okuthuthukisiwe kwegridi futhi zihlinzeka ngohlaka locwaningo lwesikhathi esizayo. Lezi zinqubomgomo zingasebenza futhi njengohlelo olulandelwa ezinye izifundazwe.

NgoJulayi, iMassachusetts yaphasisa i-H.4857, ehlose ukwandisa umgomo wokuthengwa kwezindawo zokugcina ugesi kahulumeni ube yi-1,000 MW ngo-2025. Umthetho uqondisa i-Public Utilities Commission (PUC) yesifundazwe ukuthi ibeke imithetho ekhuthaza ukuthengwa kwezinsizakusebenza zezinsiza zokugcina ugesi. Uphinde uqondise i-CPUC ukuthi icabangele ikhono lokugcina ugesi lokuhlehlisa noma lokuqeda ukutshalwa kwezimali kwengqalasizinda esekwe kuphethiloli.

ENevada, i-PUC yesifundazwe yamukele umgomo wokuthengwa kuka-100 MW ngo-2020. Lo mgomo uhlukaniswe waba amaphrojekthi axhunywe ekudluliseni ugesi, amaphrojekthi axhunywe ekusabalalisweni, kanye namaphrojekthi axhunywe kumakhasimende. I-CPUC iphinde yakhipha isiqondiso mayelana nokuhlolwa kokusebenza kahle kwezindleko zamaphrojekthi okugcina ugesi. Isifundazwe siphinde sakha imithetho yezinqubo zokuxhumanisa ezithuthukisiwe. I-Nevada iphinde yenqabele amanani asekelwe kuphela kubunikazi bokugcina ugesi bamakhasimende.

I-Clean Energy Group ibilokhu isebenzisana nabenzi bezinqubomgomo zikahulumeni, abalawuli, kanye nabanye abathintekayo ukuze ikhuthaze ukusetshenziswa okwengeziwe kobuchwepheshe bokugcina amandla. Iphinde yasebenza ukuqinisekisa ukusatshalaliswa ngokulinganayo kwezikhuthazo zokugcina, okuhlanganisa nokususwa kwemiphakathi engenayo ephansi. Ngaphezu kwalokho, i-Clean Energy Group ithuthukise uhlelo lokubuyisela amandla oluyisisekelo, olufana nezaphulelo ezinikezwayo zokusetshenziswa kwelanga ngemuva kwemitha emazweni amaningi.
