Imakethe yase-US yokugcina amandla ibeke irekhodi elisha ngekota yesine ka-2021, nesamba esingu-4,727MWh samandla okugcina amandla esatshalaliswa, ngokusho kwe-US Energy Storage Monitor esanda kukhishwa inkampani yocwaningo i-Wood Mackenzie kanye ne-American Clean Energy Council (ACP). Naphezu kokubambezeleka kokuthunyelwa kwamanye amaphrojekthi, i-US isenamandla amaningi okugcina amabhethri asetshenziswe engxenyeni yesine ka-2021 kunamakota amathathu adlule ehlanganisiwe.
Naphezu kokuba unyaka werekhodi emakethe yokugcina amandla e-US, imakethe ye-grid-scale yokugcina amandla ngo-2021 ayizange ifinyelele okulindelekile, nezinselele ze-supply chain ezibhekene nokuthunyelwa kwesistimu yokugcina amandla okungaphezu kuka-2GW kubambezeleke kuze kube ngu-2022 noma 2023. U-Wood Mackenzie ubikezela ukuthi ukucindezeleka kwe-supply chain kanye nokubambezeleka ekucubunguleni komugqa wokuxhuma kuzoqhubeka ku-2024.
UJason Burwen, iphini likamongameli wezokugcinwa kwamandla e-American Clean Energy Council (ACP), uthe: "I-2021 ingelinye irekhodi lemakethe yokugcina amandla yase-US, lapho ukuthunyelwa kwaminyaka yonke kudlula i-2GW okokuqala ngqa. Ngisho naphezu kokuwohloka komnotho omkhulu, ukubambezeleka kokuxhumana kanye nokuntuleka kwezinqubomgomo ezinhle zikagesi zikahulumeni, ukwanda kwesidingo samandla kaphethiloli ahlanzekile futhi kuqhubekisela phambili intengo yamandla ahlanzekile futhi aqhubekele phambili.
UBurwen wengeze wathi: "Imakethe yesikali segridi isalokhu isendleleni yokukhula ngokushesha yize kunezingqinamba zokuhlinzekwa okubambezele ukuthunyelwa kwephrojekthi."
Eminyakeni yakamuva, ukwehliswa kwezindleko zesistimu yokugcina amandla ebhethri kucishe kwaxazululwa ngokukhuphuka kwezindleko zempahla yokusetshenziswa nezokuhamba. Ngokucacile, amanani ebhethri akhuphuke kakhulu kuzo zonke izingxenye zesistimu ngenxa yokwenyuka kwezindleko zezinto ezingavuthiwe.
Ikota yesine ka-2021 nayo ibe yikota enamandla kunazo zonke kuze kube manje endaweni yokugcina amandla okuhlala e-US, enamandla angu-123MW afakiwe. Ezimakethe ezingaphandle kwaseCalifornia, ukuthengiswa okukhulayo kwamaphrojekthi we-solar-plus-storage kwasiza ukukhulisa irekhodi elisha lekota futhi kwaba nesandla ekufakweni kwenani eliphelele lendawo yokuhlala e-US ukuya ku-436MW ngo-2021.
Ukufakwa kwaminyaka yonke kwamasistimu okugcina amandla okuhlala e-US kulindeleke ukuthi kufinyelele ku-2GW/5.4GWh ngo-2026, kube nezifunda ezifana neCalifornia, Puerto Rico, Texas kanye neFlorida ezihola phambili emakethe.
"Akumangalisi ukuthi iPuerto Rico iphezulu emakethe yase-US yokuhlala ye-solar-plus-storage, futhi ikhombisa ukuthi ukuphela kukagesi kungaqhuba kanjani ukuthunyelwa nokwamukelwa kwebhethri," kusho uChloe Holden, umhlaziyi wethimba le-Wood Mackenzie lokugcina amandla. Izinkulungwane zamasistimu okugcina amandla ezindawo zokuhlala zifakwa njalo ngekota, futhi ukuncintisana phakathi kwezifaki zokulondoloza amandla kuyakhula.”
Wanezela: "Naphezu kwamanani entengo aphezulu kanye nokuntuleka kwezinhlelo zokukhuthaza, ukuphela kukagesi ePuerto Rico kuye kwashukumisela amakhasimende ukuthi abone inani elingeziwe lokuqina elihlinzekwa yizinhlelo ze-solar-plus-storage. Lokhu kuye kwashayela ilanga eFlorida, eCarolinas nasezingxenyeni zaseMidwest. + Ukukhula kwemakethe yokugcina amandla."
I-US yatshala i-131MW yezinhlelo zokugcina amandla okungezona ezokuhlala engxenyeni yesine ka-2021, okulethe inani eliphelele lokusetshenziswa konyaka ngo-2021 laya ku-162MW.
