Iiinjini zomoya ezintathu kwiprojekthi yomoya onzulu wamanzi zibekwe kuLwandlekazi lweAtlantiki kufutshane neBlock Island, eRhode Island. Ulawulo lweBiden lulungele ukuvavanya imfuno yentengiso yamandla omoya kwiindawo eziselunxwemeni zaseLouisiana nakwamanye amazwe aseGulf.
Iiinjini zomoya ezintathu kwiprojekthi yomoya onzulu wamanzi zibekwe kuLwandlekazi lweAtlantiki kufutshane neBlock Island, eRhode Island. Ulawulo lweBiden lulungele ukuvavanya imfuno yentengiso yamandla omoya kwiindawo eziselunxwemeni zaseLouisiana nakwamanye amazwe aseGulf.
Ulawulo lweBiden luthatha elinye inyathelo elibhekiselele kwiiprojekthi zamandla omoya ezijolise ekuveliseni umbane kunxweme lwaseLouisiana nakwamanye amazwe aseGulf.
ISebe lezangaphakathi lase-US liza kukhupha into ebizwa ngokuba "yisicelo somdla" kwiinkampani zabucala kamva kule veki ukulinganisa umdla wemarike kunye nokuba nokwenzeka kweeprojekthi zamandla omoya olwandle kwiGulf of Mexico.
Urhulumente we-Biden uphakamisa ukwakhiwa kwe-30 GW yamandla omoya ngaphandle kolwandle licandelo labucala ngo-2030.
"Eli linyathelo lokuqala elibalulekileyo ekuqondeni ukuba yiyiphi indima enokuthi idlale iGulf," kusho uDebu Harand, uMphathiswa weNdawo yangaphakathi.
Isicelo sifuna iinkampani ezinomdla kwiiprojekthi zophuhliso lonxweme eLouisiana, eTexas, eMississippi, naseAlabama. Urhulumente womdibaniso unomdla kakhulu kwiiprojekthi zamandla omoya, kodwa ukwafuna ulwazi malunga naziphi na ezinye iiteknoloji zamandla ahlaziyekayo ezikhoyo kwimarike.
Emva kokuba isicelo solwazi sikhutshwe nge-11 kaJuni, kuya kubakho ifestile yeentsuku ezingama-45 yokubeka izimvo zoluntu ukujonga umdla weenkampani zabucala kwezi projekthi.
Nangona kunjalo, kukho indlela ende nenzima ngaphambili phambi kokuba iibhleyidi zeinjini yomoya zijikelezise kude nonxweme lweGulf Coast. Iindleko zangaphambili zeefama zomoya ezikude nonxweme kunye neziseko zothumelo zothumelo zisaphezulu kunezo zamandla elanga. Imfuno esuka kwiinkampani eziluncedo zengingqi, kuquka i-Entergy, iyancipha, kwaye inkampani iye yakhaba izicelo zotyalo-mali kumandla omoya ophuma elunxwemeni ngezizathu zokudodobala koqoqosho kwixesha elidlulileyo.
Nangona kunjalo, iinkampani zamandla avuselelekayo zisenesizathu sokuba nethemba. Kwiminyaka emibini edlulileyo, i-Ocean Energy Administration yatshela iBhunga leSixeko saseNew Orleans ukuba ummandla weGulf Coast-ingakumbi eTexas, eLouisana, naseFlorida-unamandla omoya aphezulu eUnited States. Abalawuli be-Federal bathi amanzi kwiindawo ezininzi anzulu ngokwaneleyo ukuba akhe iifama ezinkulu zomoya ezimiliselwe kumazantsi olwandle.
Kwiminyaka emininzi, amandla elanga ibe sisilogeni samalungu eBhunga leSixeko saseNew Orleans, ejolise ekuphuhliseni ikamva lamandla azinzileyo eNew Orleans…
Ngelo xesha, iBOEM yathengisa isivumelwano sokuqeshisa seprojekthi yombane womoya wase-East Coast exabisa phantse i-US$500 yezigidi, kodwa ayikaniki nasiphi na isivumelwano sokuqeshisa kwingingqi ye-Gulf. Iprojekthi enkulu ye-800 MW ye-injini yomoya kufutshane ne-Vineyard yase-Martha kulindeleke ukuba iqhagamshelwe kwigridi kulo nyaka.
Inkampani yaseLouisana ifumene ubuchule beBlock Island Wind Farm, iprojekthi ye-30 MW eyakhiwe kufuphi nonxweme lwaseRhode Island kwi-2016.
UMike Celata, umlawuli wengingqi ye-BOEM yaseNew Orleans, uchaze eli nyathelo “njengenyathelo lokuqala” lokukwazi kukarhulumente wobumbano ukukhulisa ubuchwephesha kulo lonke ishishini leoli engaselunxwemeni.
Urhulumente womdibaniso uqeshe i-1.7 yezigidi zeehektare zomhlaba kumandla omoya ovela elunxwemeni kwaye utyikitye iikhontrakthi ezili-17 ezisebenzayo zokuqeshisa ngeenkampani-ingakumbi ngakunxweme lweAtlantiki ukusuka eCape Cod ukuya eCape Hatteras.
UAdam Anderson wayemi kwindlela emxinwa eyolulela kuMlambo iMississippi kwaye walatha kumgca omtsha wekonkile oziimitha ezingama-3,000 ubude.
