Isifundazwe saseCanada i-Alberta sisuse ukuvinjelwa kwaso kumaphrojekthi wamandla avuselelekayo

Uhulumeni wesifundazwe sase-Alberta esisentshonalanga yeCanada useqede ukumiswa kwezinyanga ezicishe zibe yisikhombisa ukugunyaza amaphrojekthi kagesi avuselelekayo. Uhulumeni wase-Alberta waqala ukumisa ukugunyazwa kwamaphrojekthi kagesi avuselelekayo ngo-Agasti 2023, lapho Ikhomishini Yezinsiza Zomphakathi esifundazweni iqala uphenyo ngokusetshenziswa komhlaba kanye nokubuyiselwa kabusha.

Ngemva kokususa ukuvinjelwa ngo-Feb. 29, uNdunankulu wase-Alberta uDanielle Smith uthe uhulumeni manje uzothatha indlela “yezolimo kuqala” kumaphrojekthi kagesi avuselelwe esikhathini esizayo. Ihlela ukuvimbela amaphrojekthi kagesi avuselelekayo emhlabeni wezolimo othathwa njengamandla amahle kakhulu noma amahle okunisela, ngaphezu kokusungula indawo engamakhilomitha angama-35 ezungeze lokho uhulumeni akubona kuyizindawo ezihlanzekile.

I-Canadian Renewable Energy Association (CanREA) ikwamukele ukuphela kokuvinjelwa futhi yathi ngeke kuthinte amaphrojekthi asebenzayo noma lawo asakhiwayo. Kodwa-ke, le nhlangano ithe ilindele ukuthi umthelela uzozwakala eminyakeni embalwa ezayo. Ithe ukuvinjelwa "kudala isimo sokungaqiniseki futhi kunomthelela omubi ukuzethemba kwabatshalizimali e-Alberta."

“Nakuba ukumiswa sekususiwe, kusekuningi ukungaqiniseki kanye nobungozi kubatshalizimali abafuna ukubamba iqhaza emakethe yamandla avuselelekayo eCanada,” kusho uVittoria Bellissimo, umongameli kanye ne-CEO yeCanREA. "Okubalulekile wukwenza lezi zinqubomgomo zibe zilungile, futhi ngokushesha."

Le nhlangano ithe isinqumo sikahulumeni sokuvala ugesi ovuselelekayo kwezinye izingxenye zesifundazwe siyadumaza. Ithe lokhu kusho ukuthi imiphakathi yasendaweni nabanikazi bomhlaba bazophuthelwa yizinzuzo zamandla avuselelekayo, njengemali engenayo yentela ehambisanayo kanye nezinkokhelo zokuqashisa.

"Umoya kanyeuhlelo lwamandla elangasekuyisikhathi eside ikhona nomhlaba wezolimo okhiqizayo," kusho le nhlangano, "futhi iCanREA izosebenzisana nohulumeni ne-AUC ukuphishekela amathuba okuqhubeka nalezi zindlela ezinenzuzo."

I-Alberta ihamba phambili ekuthuthukisweni kwamandla avuselelekayo eCanada, okubalelwa ngaphezu kwamaphesenti angama-92 okukhula sekukonke kweCanada kumandla avuselelekayo namandla okugcina ngo-2023, ngokusho kweCanREA. Ngonyaka odlule, iCanada yengeze u-2.2 GW wamandla amasha avuselelekayo, okuhlanganisa nama-329 MW wesistimu yelanga esetshenziswayo kanye nama-24 MW wesistimu yelanga esizeni.

I-CanREA ithe enye i-3.9GW yamaphrojekthi ingangena ku-inthanethi ngo-2025, kanti enye i-4.4GW ehlongozwayo ukuthi ibe ku-inthanethi ngokuhamba kwesikhathi. Kodwa ixwayise ngokuthi laba manje "basengcupheni".

Ngokusho kwe-International Energy Agency, amandla elanga aseCanada aqoqekile azofinyelela ku-4.4 GW ekupheleni kuka-2022. Njengoba i-1.3 GW yomthamo ofakiwe, i-Alberta ikleliswe endaweni yesibili ngemuva kwe-Ontario ku-2.7 GW. Izwe lizibekele umgomo ongu-35 GW womthamo welanga usuphelele ngo-2050.
