Umthuthukisi wamandla asakazwa waseBrithani u-Conrad Energy usanda kuqala ukwakha uhlelo lokugcina amandla ebhethri angu-6MW/12MWh e-Somerset, e-UK, ngemva kokukhansela uhlelo lokuqala lokwakha isikhungo sokuphehla amandla egesi yemvelo ngenxa yokuphikiswa kwendawo Kuhlelwe ukuthi le phrojekthi izothatha indawo yesikhungo samandla egesi yemvelo.
Imeya yendawo kanye namakhansela bahambele umcimbi wokwakhiwa kwephrojekthi yokugcina amandla kagesi. Le phrojekthi izoba namayunithi okugcina amandla e-Tesla Megapack futhi, uma isisetshenziswe ngoNovemba, izosiza ukukhulisa iphothifoliyo yokugcina amabhethri esetshenziswa yi-Conrad Energy ibe ngu-200MW ekupheleni kuka-2022.
USarah Warren, iPhini likaSihlalo weBath and North East Somerset Council kanye nelungu leKhabhinethi Yesimo Sezulu Nezokuvakasha Okusimeme, iLungu lePhalamende, uthe: "Siyajabula ukuthi iConrad Energy ikhiphe lolu hlelo olubalulekile lokugcina amabhethri futhi sijabule kakhulu ngeqhaza elizolibamba. Iqhaza liyahlonishwa. Le phrojekthi izohlinzeka ngobuhlakani, amandla aguqukayo kakhudlwana esiwadingayo ukuze sisize ngokukhululeka."
Isinqumo sokusebenzisa uhlelo lokugcina amandla ebhethri siza ngemuva kwesinqumo soMkhandlu waseBath kanye neNorth East Somerset ekuqaleni kuka-2020 sokugunyaza izinhlelo zokwakha indawo yokuphehla amandla ngegesi sahlangatshezwana nayo nokuhlehla kwezakhamuzi zendawo. IConrad Energy yaluvala lolu hlelo ngokuhamba kwesikhathi ngalowo nyaka njengoba inkampani yayifuna ukusebenzisa enye indlela eluhlaza.
Isikhulu esiphezulu senkampani yezokuthuthukiswa kwenkampani, uChris Shears, uchaza ukuthi kungani futhi kanjani ishintshele kwezobuchwepheshe obuhleliwe.
UChris Shears uthe, "Njengomthuthukisi wamandla onolwazi futhi osebenza kanzima osebenzisa izikhungo zamandla ezingaphezu kuka-50 e-UK, sisiqonda ngokugcwele isidingo sokuklama nokusebenzisa amaphrojekthi ethu ngokuzwela kanye ngokubambisana nemiphakathi yasendaweni lapho esiwathumela khona. Ukuze sizuze emandleni ahlanzekile, kufanele sikwazi ukuhlangabezana nesidingo phakathi nesidingo esikhulu, kuyilapho futhi sisekela ukuzinza kwesistimu yamandla Isistimu yethu yokugcina amabhethri e-Midsomer Norton inganikeza imindeni engu-14,000 ngogesi kuze kufike emahoreni amabili, Ngakho-ke kuyoba futhi kuyoba insiza eqinile.
Izibonelo zokugcinwa kwamandla ebhethri njengenye indlela ngenxa yokuphikiswa kwendawo kumaphrojekthi okukhiqiza amandla kagesi wezinsalela ezimbiwa phansi azikhawulelwe kumaphrojekthi amancane. Isistimu yokugcina ibhethri engu-100MW/400MWh, eyafika ku-inthanethi e-California ngoJuni odlule, yathuthukiswa ngemva kokuthi izinhlelo zokuqala zesikhungo segesi yemvelo eziphakeme zibhekane nokuphikiswa yizakhamuzi zendawo.
Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi iqhutshwa izinto zendawo, zezwe noma zezomnotho, ibhethriukugcinwa kwamandlaamasistimu akhethwa kabanzi njengenye indlela yamaphrojekthi kaphethiloli. Ngokusho kocwaningo lwakamuva lwase-Australia, njengesikhungo samandla esikhuphuka phezulu, ukusebenzisa iphrojekthi yokugcina amandla ebhethri kungaba ephansi ngo-30% kunesikhungo samandla egesi yemvelo.
