Neil Etter, umukozi ushinzwe kugenzura ibyuma muri sitasiyo ya H. Wilson Sundt Generating Station ya Tucson Power.
Tucson Power yavuze ko ifite ingufu zihagije zo guhaza ibiciro by’amashanyarazi byitezwe ko biri hejuru cyane no gukomeza gukoresha ibyuma bikonjesha muri iyi mpeshyi.
Ariko kubera impinduka zikomoka ku nganda zikoresha amakara zijya ku mirasire y'izuba n'umuyaga, ubushyuhe bukabije bw'impeshyi n'isoko ry'amashanyarazi rikomeje kuba rito mu burengerazuba, gahunda zo kwirinda ibura ry'amashanyarazi zirimo kwiyongera, nk'uko TEP n'izindi nzego z'imari babibwiye abagenzuzi ba leta mu cyumweru gishize.
Nk’uko ubushakashatsi bushya bwatewe inkunga na TEP n’izindi serivisi zitanga serivisi zo mu majyepfo y’uburengerazuba bubigaragaza, bitarenze umwaka wa 2025, niba imishinga yose y’ingufu zisubira ziteganijwe mu majyepfo y’uburengerazuba itararangira ku gihe, ntabwo izashobora guhaza ibura ry’amashanyarazi rikomeje kwiyongera.
Mu nama ngarukamwaka ya Komisiyo ishinzwe gutegura impeshyi ya Arizona Corporation Commission mu cyumweru gishize, abayobozi ba TEP n'ibigo by'amashanyarazi bya UniSource Energy Services bavuze ko bafite ubushobozi buhagije bwo gukora ibikoresho kugira ngo bahaze umusaruro mwinshi w'impeshyi uteganijwe kurenga urugero rwa 2021.
“Dufite ingufu zihagije kandi twumva twiteguye neza ubushyuhe bw'impeshyi n'ingufu nyinshi zikenewe,” ibi byavuzwe n'umuvugizi wa TEP, Joe Barrios. “Ariko, tuzakurikirana neza ikirere n'isoko ry'ingufu mu karere, dufite gahunda zo guhangana n'ibibazo mu gihe habaye ikibazo.”
Arizona Public Service, ikigo kinini cy’amashanyarazi muri iyo leta, Salt River Project yigenga na Arizona Electric Cooperative, iha ingufu amakoperative y’amashanyarazi yo mu cyaro muri iyo leta, nabyo byabwiye abashinzwe kugenzura ko bafite ingufu zihagije zo guhaza ibyifuzo byitezwe by’impeshyi.
Kuba inyangamugayo mu mpeshyi byagize ikibazo gikomeye kuva muri Kanama 2020, ubwo ibura ry'amashanyarazi mu gihe cy'ubushyuhe bw'amateka mu Burengerazuba bwatumye abashinzwe itumanaho muri Californiya bashyiraho uburyo bwo kuzimya umuriro kugira ngo hirindwe ko sisitemu yose yangirika.
Arizona yashoboye kwirinda guhagarara kw'amashanyarazi bitewe na gahunda zo kwita ku byifuzo by'abaturage ndetse n'ibikorwa byo kurengera abakiriya, ariko abasora bo muri iyo leta bishyuye ikiguzi cy'izamuka ry'ibiciro by'amashanyarazi mu karere muri iki gihe cy'ihungabana.
Mu karere kose, igenamigambi ry’umutungo ryarushijeho kugorana bitewe n’ubushyuhe bukabije bw’impeshyi n’amapfa, kugabanya amashanyarazi yinjira muri Californiya, imiyoboro y’amashanyarazi n’ibindi bintu bigira ingaruka ku mishinga y’izuba n’ububiko, nk’uko Lee Alter, umuyobozi ushinzwe igenamigambi ry’umutungo muri TEP na UES, yabibwiye abashinzwe kugenzura.
Alter yavuze ko hashingiwe ku busabe bugaragaza ubushyuhe bw’impeshyi, ikigo cy’ubucuruzi kizinjira mu mpeshyi gifite igipimo cy’ubwizigame (kibyara ibirenze ibyo cyari giteganyijwe) cya 16%.
Umutekinisiye Darrell Neil akora muri imwe mu nzu z’ikigo cy’amashanyarazi cya H. Wilson Sundt i Tucson, gicumbikiye moteri eshanu muri moteri 10 zikoresha umuriro w’imbere za TEP.
Amafaranga y’inyongera atanga uburyo bwo kwirinda ibura ry’amashanyarazi rirenze iryo byari byitezwe bitewe n’ikirere kibi n’ihungabana ry’ingufu z’amashanyarazi, nko gufunga uruganda rw’amashanyarazi mu buryo butunguranye cyangwa kwangiza imiyoboro y’amashanyarazi mu gasozi.
Inama Ishinzwe Guhuza Ingufu z'Amashanyarazi mu Burengerazuba yavuze ko hakenewe ingengo y'imari ingana na 16% buri mwaka kugira ngo umutungo uhagije ukomeze kuguma mu butayu mu majyepfo y'uburengerazuba, harimo na Arizona, kugeza mu 2021.
Arizona Public Service Co. yiteze ko icyifuzo cyiyongeraho hafi 4% kikagera kuri megawati 7.881, kandi iteganya kugumana inyungu y’inyongera ya hafi 15%.
Ort yavuze ko bigoye kubona amasoko y’ingufu z’inyongera ahagije, nk’amasezerano ahamye yo kohereza ingufu mu gihe kizaza, kugira ngo yongere inyungu z’ingufu zigomba gutangwa mu gihe amasoko y’ingufu ari make mu Burengerazuba.
“Mu bihe byashize, hari ubushobozi buhagije mu karere ku buryo iyo ushaka byinshi, wajyaga kugura byinshi, ariko isoko ryarushijeho gukomera,” Alter yabwiye komite y’ibigo.
Alter yanagaragaje impungenge zikomeje kwiyongera z'uko amapfa y'igihe kirekire mu kibaya cy'uruzi rwa Colorado ashobora guhagarika ikoreshwa ry'amashanyarazi akomoka ku mazi ku rugomero rwa Glen Canyon cyangwa ku rugomero rwa Hoover, mu gihe umucuruzi w'amashanyarazi muri California akomeje politiki yemejwe umwaka ushize yo kugabanya ingufu zihutirwa zo kohereza amashanyarazi mu mahanga.
Barrios yavuze ko TEP na UES bidashingira ku ngomero z'amazi zo ku ruzi rwa Colorado ku ngufu z'amazi, ariko kubura kw'ayo mato byatuma ingufu z'amashanyarazi ziboneka mu karere ziba nke kandi bigatuma ibura n'ibiciro bizamuka.
Ku rundi ruhande, TEP yatangiye kwitabira Isoko ry’Imbaraga z’Ingufu rya Western, isoko ry’amashanyarazi rigurishwa mu buryo bwihuse ku bigo bigera kuri 20 bicungwa n’ikigo gishinzwe amashanyarazi cya California Independent System Operator.
Nubwo isoko ritazongera ubushobozi bwo gutanga amashanyarazi, rizafasha TEP kuringaniza umutungo kamere uhoraho nk'izuba n'umuyaga, gukumira ihindagurika ry'umuyoboro w'amashanyarazi no kunoza uburyo bwo gukora neza, nk'uko Alter yabitangaje.
Tucson Power n'izindi nzego z'amashanyarazi batangarije abashinzwe kugenzura imikorere ya leta mu cyumweru gishize ko gahunda zo kwirinda ibura ry'amashanyarazi zirimo kwiyongera cyane mu gihe habayeho impinduka mu kuva ku nganda zikoresha amakara zijya ku nganda zikoresha imirasire y'izuba n'umuyaga, ubushyuhe bukabije bw'impeshyi ndetse n'isoko ry'amashanyarazi ry'iburengerazuba ritoroshye.
Avuga ku bushakashatsi buherutse gukorwa n’Ubukungu bw’Ingufu n’Ibidukikije (E3), Alter yavuze ko TEP n’izindi nzego z’ubuso bw’Amajyepfo y’Epfo zihura n’imbogamizi zikomeye mu guhaza ibura ry’amashanyarazi rikabije mu gihe zizava mu gukoresha amakara mu myaka iri imbere.
Raporo yatanzwe na TEP, Arizona Public Service, Salt River Project, Arizona Electric Cooperative, El Paso Power write na New Mexico Public Service Corporation yagize iti: “Izamuka ry’umutwaro no guhagarika umutungo biri gutuma habaho gukenerwa cyane kandi byihutirwa k’umutungo mu majyepfo y’uburengerazuba.”
Ubushakashatsi bwasoje bugira buti: “Kugumana icyizere mu karere bizaterwa nuko ibigo by’imari n’ingufu bishobora kongeramo umutungo mushya vuba bihagije kugira ngo bihuze n’ubu busabe buri kwiyongera kandi bigasaba umuvuduko udasanzwe w’iterambere mu karere.”
Mu karere kose, ibigo by’amashanyarazi bizahura n’ikibazo cyo kubura ingufu za GW zigera kuri 4 mu mwaka wa 2025, aho amashanyarazi n’inganda bihari birimo gutunganywa. GW 1 cyangwa MW 1,000 z’ingufu zikomoka ku mirasire y’izuba zihagije kugira ngo zicane amazu agera ku 200,000 kugeza ku 250,000 mu karere ka TEP.
Raporo ivuga ko Southwest Utilities irimo kwitegura kongera umubare w’abayikeneye, yiyemeza kongeramo gigawati zigera kuri 5 z’amashanyarazi mashya, hamwe n’ingamba zo kongeramo izindi gigawati 14.4 bitarenze 2025.
Ariko raporo ya E3 ivuga ko gutinda kose mu mishinga y’ubwubatsi bw’ikigo bishobora guteza ibura ry’amashanyarazi mu gihe kizaza, bikaba byakongera ibyago byo kwizera imikorere yacyo mu myaka icumi cyangwa irenga.
Ubushakashatsi bwagize buti: “Nubwo iyi ngaruka ishobora gusa nkaho ari kure mu bihe bisanzwe, ihungabana ry’ibicuruzwa, ibura ry’ibikoresho n’amasoko y’umurimo akomeye byagize ingaruka ku gihe cy’imishinga mu gihugu hose.”
Mu 2021, TEP yongereye megawati 449 z'umukungugu w'umuyaga n'izuba, bituma isosiyete itanga hafi 30% by'amashanyarazi yayo aturuka ku masoko ashobora kongera gukoreshwa.
Nk’uko ubushakashatsi bushya bwatewe inkunga na TEP n’izindi serivisi zitanga serivisi zo mu majyepfo y’uburengerazuba bubigaragaza, bitarenze umwaka wa 2025, niba imishinga yose y’ingufu zisubira ziteganijwe mu majyepfo y’uburengerazuba itararangira ku gihe, ntabwo izashobora guhaza ibura ry’amashanyarazi rikomeje kwiyongera.
TEP ifite umushinga w’ingufu z’izuba uri kubakwa, umushinga w’ingufu z’izuba wa Raptor Ridge PV wa megawati 15 hafi y’umuhanda wa East Valencia na Interstate 10, biteganijwe ko uzatangira gukoreshwa mu mpera z’uyu mwaka, ukoresheje gahunda y’abakiriya yo kwiyandikisha ku mirasire y’izuba ya GoSolar Home.
Mu ntangiriro za Mata, TEP yatangaje ubusabe bw’isoko ryose bwo gutanga ibitekerezo ku ngufu zishobora kongera gukoreshwa n’izikoreshwa mu gukoresha neza ingufu, harimo imirasire y’izuba n’umuyaga, na gahunda yo gusubiza ibisabwa kugira ngo igabanye ikoreshwa mu gihe cy’ubukene bwinshi. TEP kandi iri gushaka ubushobozi buhamye bwo kubika ingufu bugera kuri 300MW, harimo na sisitemu zo kubika ingufu zitanga nibura amasaha ane ku munsi mu mpeshyi, cyangwa gahunda zo gusubiza ibisabwa.
UES yatanze amasoko yo kugura ingufu zisubiramo n’ingufu zikoreshwa neza kugeza kuri MW 170 hamwe n’ingufu zikoreshwa n’ibigo bigera kuri MW 150.
TEP na UES biteze ko uyu muyoboro mushya uzaba watangiye gukora neza bitarenze Gicurasi 2024, ariko bitarenze Gicurasi 2025.
Igorofa rya turbine generator kuri sitasiyo y'amashanyarazi ya H. Wilson Sundt kuri 3950 E. Irvington Road mu 2017.
Mu gihe inganda zikoresha amakara zigiye guhagarara, TEP igomba kugira icyo ikora vuba, harimo no gufunga Unit 1 ya megawati 170 muri sitasiyo y'amashanyarazi ya San Juan mu majyaruguru y'uburengerazuba bwa New Mexico biteganijwe muri Kamena.
Barrios yavuze ko kubungabunga ubushobozi buhagije bwo gukora ibikoresho bya elegitoroniki byari ikibazo cya buri gihe, ariko TEP yari ikora neza kurusha bamwe mu baturanyi bayo bo mu karere.
Yatanze urugero ku kigo cya New Mexico Public Service Corporation, cyabwiye abashinzwe kugenzura ko nta mafaranga yari afite yo kubika mu kwezi kwa Nyakanga cyangwa Kanama.
Muri Gashyantare, Urwego Rushinzwe Abakozi ba Leta muri New Mexico rwafashe icyemezo cyo gukomeza gukoresha ikindi ruganda gisigaye gikoresha amakara i San Juan kugeza muri Nzeri, amezi atatu nyuma y’itariki cyari giteganyijwe yo gusezera, kugira ngo rwongere agaciro k’impeshyi.
Barrios yavuze ko TEP irimo gukora kuri gahunda yo gusubiza ibyo abantu bakeneye aho abakiriya bemerera ibigo by’amashanyarazi kugabanya ikoreshwa ry’amashanyarazi mu gihe cy’ibikorwa byinshi kugira ngo birinde ibura ry’amashanyarazi.
Barrios yavuze ko iyi serivisi ubu ishobora gukorana n'abakiriya b'ubucuruzi n'inganda kugira ngo bagabanye vuba icyifuzo kugeza kuri megawati 40, kandi hari gahunda nshya y'igerageza yemerera bamwe mu batuye mu mazu yo guturamo kubona inguzanyo y'amadolari 10 buri gihembwe kugira ngo bagabanye icyifuzo. Imikoreshereze yabo y'icyuma gishyushya amazi ihereye ku rwego rwo hejuru.
Barrios yavuze ko iyi kompanyi ikorana na Tucson Water mu gikorwa gishya cya “Beat the Peak” cyo gukangurira abakiriya kugabanya ikoreshwa ry’ingufu mu gihe cy’umuhindo, ubusanzwe kikaba ari saa cyenda kugeza saa moya z’umugoroba mu mpeshyi.
Yavuze ko ubu bukangurambaga buzakubiyemo gushyira ahagaragara ku mbuga nkoranyambaga na videwo bitumira abakiriya gusuzuma gahunda z’ibiciro n’uburyo bwo gukoresha ingufu neza kugira ngo bigabanye ikoreshwa ry’ibicuruzwa mu masaha y’akazi.
