TUrhulumente wase-Australia usandula ukuqalisa intlanganiso yoluntu malunga nesicwangciso sotyalo-mali lwamandla. Le nkampani yophando iqikelela ukuba esi sicwangciso siza kutshintsha imithetho yomdlalo yokukhuthaza amandla acocekileyo e-Australia.
Abaphenduli babenexesha elide de kube sekupheleni kuka-Agasti kulo nyaka lokunika izimvo zabo kwisicwangciso, esiza kubonelela ngeziqinisekiso zengeniso yokuveliswa kwamandla avuselelekayo athunyelwayo. UMphathiswa wezaMandla wase-Australia uChris Bowen uchaze esi sicwangciso njengenjongo yokusasazwa kokugcinwa kwamandla “eyona nto ibalulekileyo”, njengoko iinkqubo zokugcina zifuneka ukuze kuvumeleke ukuveliswa kwamandla avuselelekayo athunyelwayo.
ISebe lase-Australia leeNguquko zeMozulu, Amandla, iNdalo kunye naManzi lipapashe uxwebhu lokubonisana noluntu oluchaza indlela ecetywayo kunye noyilo lwesicwangciso, kulandele ingcebiso.
Urhulumente ujonge ukusasaza izixhobo zokuvelisa amandla acocekileyo ezingaphezu kwe-6GW ngale nkqubo, ekulindeleke ukuba izise utyalo-mali lwe-A$10 billion ($6.58 billion) kwicandelo lamandla ngo-2030.
Eli nani lifunyenwe ngokumodela yi-Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO). Nangona kunjalo, le nkqubo iza kulawulwa kwinqanaba lelizwe kwaye ilungiswe ngokweemfuno zokwenyani zendawo nganye kwinethiwekhi yamandla.
Oko kwenzeka nangona abaphathiswa bezamandla belizwe lonke nakwimimandla yase-Australia bedibene ngoDisemba kwaye bevumelana ngokomgaqo-siseko ukuba baqalise le nkqubo.
UGqr. Bruce Mountain, ingcali kwezoqoqosho lwamandla kwiVictorian Energy Policy Center (VEPC), uthe ekuqaleni kwalo nyaka ukuba urhulumente wobumbano wase-Australia uza kuba noxanduva lokujongana nokulungelelanisa le projekthi, ngelixa ukuphunyezwa kunye nezigqibo ezininzi ezibalulekileyo ziza kwenzeka kwinqanaba likarhulumente.
Kwiminyaka embalwa edlulileyo, utshintsho loyilo lwemarike kwiMarike yoMbane yeSizwe yase-Australia (i-NEM) lube yingxoxo yobuchwepheshe ende ekhokelwa ngumlawuli, njengoko umlawuli equka izixhobo zokuvelisa ezisebenzisa amalahle okanye izixhobo zokuvelisa ezisebenzisa igesi kwisiphakamiso soyilo, utshilo uMountain. Ingxoxo ifikelele esiphelweni.
Eyona nto ibalulekileyo kukungabandakanywa kokuveliswa kwamalahle kunye negesi yendalo kwisicwangciso
Urhulumente wase-Australia uqhutywa yimpembelelo yemozulu kunye nefuthe lamandla acocekileyo, apho umphathiswa wezamandla wase-Australia enoxanduva lwaloo nto kwaye efuna ukwenza izivumelwano nabaphathiswa bamandla bakarhulumente, abanoxanduva lokulawula umbane ngokomgaqo-siseko.
Ekupheleni konyaka ophelileyo, uMountain uthe, oku kukhokelele ekubeni iCapacity Investment Scheme ibhengezwe njengendlela eneenkcukacha ezisisiseko zokungabandakanyi ukuveliswa kwamalahle negesi kwimbuyekezo phantsi kwesi sikimu.
UMphathiswa wezaMandla uChris Bowen uqinisekisile ukuba le nkqubo iza kuqaliswa kulo nyaka, emva kokukhutshwa kohlahlo-lwabiwo mali lwesizwe sase-Australia ngoMeyi.
Isigaba sokuqala sale nkqubo kulindeleke ukuba siqaliswe kulo nyaka, siqala ngeethenda eMzantsi Australia naseVictoria kunye nethenda eNew South Wales elawulwa yi-Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO).
Ngokwephepha leengcebiso, le nkqubo iza kuqaliswa kancinci kancinci phakathi kowama-2023 nowama-2027 ukunceda iOstreliya ihlangabezane neemfuno zayo zokuthembeka kwenkqubo yombane ngowama-2030. Urhulumente waseOstreliya uza kuphinda ahlole imfuneko yeethenda ezongezelelweyo ngaphaya kowama-2027 njengoko kufuneka.
Iiprojekthi zikawonke-wonke okanye zabucala ezigqibezela ukuxhaswa ngemali emva komhla wesi-8 kweyoMnga ka-2022 ziya kufaneleka ukufumana inkxaso-mali.
Ubungakanani obufunwa yingingqi buya kugqitywa yimodeli yeemfuno zokuthembeka kwingingqi nganye kwaye buguqulelwe kubungakanani bebhidi. Nangona kunjalo, ezinye iiparameter zoyilo azikamiselwa, njengobude bexesha obuncinci betekhnoloji yokugcina amandla, indlela iitekhnoloji ezahlukeneyo zokugcina amandla eziya kuthelekiswa ngayo kuvavanyo lwebhidi kunye nendlela iibhidi zeCapacity Investment Scenario (CIS) ekufuneka ziguquke ngayo ngokuhamba kwexesha.
Iithenda zeNkqubo yeZakhiwo zoMbane zaseNSW sele ziqalisiwe, kunye neethenda zezixhobo zokuvelisa ezibhalisiweyo kakhulu, kunye ne-3.1GW yeebhidi ezicwangcisiweyo xa kuthelekiswa nethagethi yethenda ye-950MW. Okwangoku, iibhidi ze-1.6GW zeenkqubo zokugcina amandla ezihlala ixesha elide zifunyenwe, ngaphezulu kwephindwe kabini kwethagethi yebhidi ye-550MW.
Ukongeza, amalungiselelo okunika ithenda eMzantsi Australia naseVictoria kulindeleke ukuba abhengezwe ngo-Okthobha kulo nyaka.
