Umthuthukisi wamandla wase-Australia i-Woodside Energy ihambise isiphakamiso ku-Western Australian Environmental Protection Agency ukuze kufakwe okuhleliwe kuka-500MW wamandla elanga. Le nkampani inethemba lokuthi izosebenzisa indawo kagesi welanga ukunika amandla amakhasimende ezimboni esifundazweni, okuhlanganisa nesikhungo sokukhiqiza iPluto LNG esisebenza yinkampani.
Le nkampani yathi ngoMeyi 2021 ihlela ukwakha indawo yokukhiqiza amandla elanga eduze kwaseKarratha enyakatho-ntshonalanga ye-Australia, kanye nokunikeza amandla indawo yayo yokukhiqiza i-Pluto LNG.
Emibhalweni esanda kukhishwa yi-Western Australian Environmental Protection Agency (WAEPA), kungaqinisekiswa ukuthi inhloso ye-Woodside Energy ukwakha indawo yokuphehla amandla elanga angu-500MW, okuzophinde kuhlanganise nohlelo lokugcina amabhethri angu-400MWh.
"I-Woodside Energy ihlongoza ukwakha nokusebenzisa lesi sikhungo selanga kanye nesistimu yokugcina amabhethri e-Maitland Strategic Industrial Area etholakala cishe amakhilomitha angu-15 eningizimu-ntshonalanga yeKarratha esifundeni sasePilbara eNtshonalanga ye-Australia," kusho isiphakamiso.
Iphrojekthi ye-solar-plus-storage izosatshalaliswa endaweni yokuthuthukiswa kwamahektha ayi-1,100.3. Cishe amaphaneli elanga ayisigidi esisodwa azofakwa endaweni yamandla elanga, kanye nengqalasizinda esekelayo njengamasistimu okugcina amandla ebhethri neziteshi ezincane.
UWoodside Energy utheamandla elangaIsikhungo sizoletha ugesi kumakhasimende ngokusebenzisa iNorthwest Interconnection System (NWIS), ephethwe futhi eqhutshwa yi-Horizon Power.
Ukwakhiwa kwephrojekthi kuzokwenziwa ngezigaba ngesilinganiso esingu-100MW, kanti ukwakhiwa kwesiteji ngasinye kulindeleke ukuthi kuthathe izinyanga eziyisithupha kuya kweziyisishiyagalolunye. Nakuba isigaba ngasinye sokwakha sizoholela kumathani angu-212,000 we-CO2 ekhishwayo, amandla aluhlaza avela ku-NWIS anganciphisa ukukhishwa kwekhabhoni yamakhasimende ezimboni cishe amathani ayi-100,000 ngonyaka.
Ngokwe- Sydney Morning Herald, kuye kwaqoshwa izithombe ezingaphezu kwesigidi emadwaleni eNhlonhlo YeBurrup. Le ndawo iqokwe ohlwini lwamagugu omhlaba ngenxa yokukhathazeka kokuthi izinto ezingcolisa izimboni zingadala umonakalo emisebenzini yobuciko. Izakhiwo zezimboni kule ndawo zihlanganisa imboni ye-Pluto LNG yakwaWoodside Energy, imboni ye-ammonia neziqhumane zaseYara, kanye nePort of Dampier, lapho i-Rio Tinto ithumela khona insimbi yensimbi.
I-Western Australian Environmental Protection Agency (WAEPA) manje isibuyekeza lesi siphakamiso futhi inikeza isikhathi sokuphawula komphakathi esiyizinsuku eziyisikhombisa, kanti i-Woodside Energy inethemba lokuthi izoqala ukwakha kulo msebenzi ngasekupheleni konyaka.
Isikhathi sokuthumela: Aug-10-2022
