Umphuhlisi wamandla osasazwayo waseBritani uConrad Energy usandul’ ukuqalisa ukwakhiwa kwenkqubo yokugcina amandla ebhetri ye-6MW/12MWh e-Somerset, e-UK, emva kokurhoxisa isicwangciso sokuqala sokwakha isityalo samandla egesi yendalo ngenxa yokuchaswa kwendawo Kucetywa ukuba le projekthi iza kuthatha indawo yombane wegesi yendalo.
Usodolophu wengingqi kunye nooceba bebezimase umsitho wokuqala weprojekthi yokugcina amandla ebhetri. Le projekthi iza kuba neeyunithi zokugcina amandla e-Tesla Megapack kwaye, xa isetyenziswe ngoNovemba, iya kunceda ukwandisa iphothifoliyo yokugcina ibhetri esetyenziswa yiConrad Energy ukuya kwi-200MW ekupheleni kuka-2022.
USarah Warren, uSekela Sihlalo weBhunga leBhafu kunye neNorth East Somerset kunye nelungu leKhabhinethi yeMozulu kunye noKhenketho oluZinzileyo, i-MP, uthe: "Siyavuya kuba iConrad Energy isebenzise le nkqubo ibalulekileyo yokugcina ibhetri kwaye iyavuya kakhulu ngendima eya kuyidlala.
Isigqibo sokusebenzisa inkqubo yokugcina amandla ebhetri siza emva kwesigqibo seBhunga laseBath kunye neNorth East Somerset ekuqaleni kuka-2020 ukuvuma izicwangciso zokwakhiwa kwesikhululo samandla esiqhunyiswa ngegesi kwahlangatyezwana nomqolo ovela kubahlali basekuhlaleni. IConrad Energy yasivala isicwangciso kamva kulo nyaka njengoko inkampani yayifuna ukusebenzisa enye indlela eluhlaza.
Igosa eliyintloko lophuhliso lwenkampani, uChris Shears, uchaza ukuba kutheni kwaye njani yatshintshela kwitekhnoloji ecwangcisiweyo.
UChris Shears uthe, "Njengomphuhlisi wamandla onamava kwaye osebenza nzima osebenza kumaziko anamandla angama-50 e-UK, siyiqonda ngokupheleleyo imfuneko yokuyila nokusebenza iiprojekthi zethu ngovakalelo kunye nentsebenziswano noluntu lwasekuhlaleni apho sizithumela khona. Ukuze sizuze kumandla acocekileyo, kufuneka sikwazi ukuhlangabezana nemfuno ngexesha lemfuno ephezulu, ngelixa sikwaxhasa uzinzo lwenkqubo yamandla Inkqubo yethu yokugcina ibhetri eMidsomer Norton inokubonelela ngemizi eyi-14,000 ngombane ukuya kuthi ga kwiiyure ezimbini, ngoko ke iya kuba sisixhobo esinamandla.
Imizekelo yogcino lwamandla ebhetri njengenye indlela ngenxa yenkcaso yasekuhlaleni kwiiprojekthi zokuvelisa amandla efosili ayipheleli kwiiprojekthi ezincinci. Inkqubo yokugcina ibhetri ye-100MW/400MWh, eyafika kwi-intanethi eCalifornia ngoJuni ophelileyo, yaphuhliswa emva kokuba izicwangciso zokuqala zesityalo esiphakamileyo segesi yendalo zijongene nenkcaso evela kubahlali basekuhlaleni.
Nokuba iqhutywa yimeko yendawo, yelizwe okanye yezoqoqosho, ibhetriukugcinwa kwamandlaIinkqubo zikhethwa ngokubanzi njengenye yeeprojekthi zamafutha efosili. Ngokutsho kophononongo lwakutsha nje lwase-Australia, njengesixhobo samandla esiphakamileyo, ukusebenza kweprojekthi yokugcina amandla ebhetri kunokuba yi-30% ephantsi kwexabiso legesi yendalo.
