Malasha amataya mphamvu ya dzuwa, mphepo ndi kusungirako ku Arizona utility plan

Arizona utility Tucson Electric Power (TEP) yakhazikitsa ndondomeko yopereka 70% ya mphamvu zake kuchokera ku dzuwa ndi mphepo pofika 2035, mothandizidwa ndi ndalama zowonjezera mphamvu zatsopano zosungiramo mphamvu.

Ntchitoyi sabata yatha idapereka mapulani ake ophatikizika (IRP) ndi oyang'anira boma, akufotokozera mapulani a 2.5GW a solar ndi mphepo yatsopano pazaka 15 zikubwerazi ndi 1.4GW ya mphamvu yosungira mphamvu pomwe ikutseka pang'onopang'ono malo ake opangira malasha.

Bungweli lidati chifukwa chokhudzidwa ndi chilengedwe komanso kupezeka kwa mphamvu zotsika mtengo zongowonjezereka komanso zosungirako likufuna kusiya zombo zake zonse zopangira malasha ndikuchepetsa kutulutsa mpweya wa kaboni pofika 80% pofika 2035.

"Tikufulumizitsa kusintha kwathu kuzinthu zamagetsi zoyeretsa pogwiritsa ntchito ndondomeko yotsika mtengo yomwe imathandizira ntchito yodalirika komanso yotsika mtengo kuchokera kuzinthu zowonjezereka," adatero mkulu wa TEP David Hutchens."Tikhala tikuchepetsa kutulutsa mpweya wa kaboni pamlingo womwe umatiyika patsogolo pakuyesetsa kwapadziko lonse kuthana ndi kusintha kwanyengo."

Pamodzi ndi kutsekedwa komwe kwalengezedwa kale kwa zomera zowotchedwa ndi malasha, TEP idati ichotsa mayunitsi ena awiri omwe ali pafupifupi 800MW pofika 2032;pofika chaka cha 2035 ntchitoyo idzakhala itasiya mphamvu ya malasha pa 1GW.

M'malo mwake, ntchitoyo idzayang'ana ndalama zake pazowonjezera, kusungirako komanso m'badwo wina wogwiritsa ntchito gasi.

Pofika chaka cha 2035, dongosolo la TEP limafotokoza za kuwonjezera pang'ono 1.7GW ya solar yatsopano ndi 846MW yamphepo.Kuphatikiza apo, bungweli likukonzekeranso kukhazikitsa 1.4GW yosungirako mphamvu pofika chaka cha 2035 kuphatikiza 50MW yosungirako mphamvu ya batri yomwe ikugwira ntchito kale kapena yomwe yapangidwa lero.

Zambiri mwazinthuzi zimabwezeretsedwanso kunthawi yamtsogolo yanthawi yakukonzekera, ndi magawo awiri mwa atatu a mphamvu zosungira zomwe zikuyembekezeka ziyamba kugwira ntchito pambuyo pa 2030 pomwe kutsika kwakukulu kwamitengo yosungirako kumayembekezeredwa.

"Kusunga ntchito yodalirika yokhala ndi mphepo yamkuntho ndi mphamvu yadzuwa kumafuna mphamvu zomvera, zogwira mtima za gasi wachilengedwe komanso kusungirako, zomwe zikuyembekezeka kukhala zotsika mtengo kwambiri pazaka khumi zikubwerazi," adatero Hutchens."Dongosolo lathu lidapangidwa kuti lithandizire kuchepetsa mitengoyi kuti muchepetse mpweya wa kaboni popanda kuwononga ndalama kapena kukwanitsa."

Kupuma pantchito kwamphamvu kwa mafakitale oyaka ndi malasha m'malo mwa zongowonjezeranso ndikusungira wakhala mutu wofotokozera za kupha kwa ma IRP omwe adalengezedwa ndi mabungwe aku US m'miyezi yaposachedwa.Makamaka, mu October watha, PacifiCorp, wothandizira wa Investor Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway Energy, adavumbulutsa mapulani owonjezera pa 6GW ya dzuwa ndi pafupifupi 3GW yosungirako mphamvu pofika chaka cha 2038. Panthawi imodzimodziyo, ntchitoyo ikukonzekera kuchotsa pafupifupi 4.5GW ya malasha kuyambira opareshoni.

Izi zathandizidwanso ndi zothandizira ku Indiana, Virginia ndi California kuti ziphatikizepo kusungirako kwa dzuwa ndi mphamvu mu IRPs chaka chino.
