Ukumiswa kwezinyanga ezicishe zibe yisikhombisa kokugunyazwa kwephrojekthi yamandla avuselelekayo nguhulumeni wesifundazwe sase-Alberta entshonalanga yeCanada kuphelile.Uhulumeni wase-Alberta waqala ukumisa ukugunyazwa kwamaphrojekthi kagesi ovuselelekayo kusukela ngo-Agasti 2023, lapho Ikhomishini Yezinsiza Zomphakathi esifundazweni iqala uphenyo ngokusetshenziswa komhlaba kanye nokubuyiselwa kabusha.
Ngemva kokususa ukuvinjelwa ngoFebhuwari 29, uNdunankulu wase-Alberta uDanielle Smith uthe uhulumeni manje uzothatha indlela “yezolimo kuqala” kumaphrojekthi kagesi avuselelekayo wesikhathi esizayo.Ihlela ukuvimbela amaphrojekthi kagesi avuselelekayo emhlabeni wezolimo othathwa njengamandla amahle noma amahle okunisela, ngaphezu kokusungula indawo evikelekile engu-35km ezungeze lokho uhulumeni akubheka njengezindawo ezihlanzekile.
I-Canadian Renewable Energy Association (CanREA) ikwamukele ukuphela kokuvinjelwa futhi yathi ngeke kuthinte amaphrojekthi asebenzayo noma lawo asakhiwayo.Kodwa-ke, le nhlangano ithe ilindele ukuthi umthelela uzozwakala eminyakeni embalwa ezayo.Ithe ukuvinjelwa kokugunyazwa "kudala isimo sokungaqiniseki futhi kunomthelela omubi ekuthembeni kwabatshalizimali e-Alberta."
“Ngenkathi isimemezelo sesisusiwe, ukungaqiniseki okubalulekile kanye nobungozi kusasele kubatshalizimali abafuna ukubamba iqhaza eCanada'imakethe yamandla avuselelekayo eshisa kakhulu,”kusho uMongameli weCanREA kanye ne-CEO uVittoria Bellissimo.“Ukhiye uwukwenza ukuthi lezi zinqubomgomo zilungile, futhi ngokushesha.”
Le nhlangano ithe isinqumo sikahulumeni sokuvala ugesi ovuselelekayo ezingxenyeni ezithile zesifundazwe “siyadumaza.”Ithe lokhu kusho ukuthi imiphakathi yendawo kanye nabaninimhlaba bazophuthelwa yizinzuzo zamandla avuselelekayo, njengemali yentela ehambisanayo kanye nezinkokhelo zokuqashisa.
“Amandla omoya namandla elanga kudala kukhona kanye nomhlaba okhiqizayo wezolimo,” kusho le nhlangano."ICanREA izosebenzisana nohulumeni kanye ne-AUC ukuphishekela amathuba okuqhubeka nalezi zindlela ezizuzisayo."
I-Alberta ihamba phambili ekuthuthukisweni kwamandla avuselelekayo eCanada, okubalelwa ngaphezu kwama-92% wamandla avuselelekayo aseCanada akhule kanye namandla okugcina ngo-2023, ngokusho kweCanREA.Ngonyaka odlule, iCanada yengeze u-2.2 GW wamandla amasha avuselelekayo, okuhlanganisa nama-329 MW esikali selanga esisetshenziswayo kanye nama-24 MW welanga esizeni.
I-CanREA ithe amanye amaphrojekthi angu-3.9 GW angangena ku-inthanethi ngo-2025, namanye angu-4.4 GW wamaphrojekthi ahlongozwayo azotholakala ku-inthanethi kamuva.Kepha ixwayise laba manje "basengcupheni".
Ngokusho kwe-International Energy Agency, amandla elanga aseCanada aqoqekile azofinyelela ku-4.4 GW ekupheleni kuka-2022. I-Alberta ikleliswe endaweni yesibili ngo-1.3 GW womthamo ofakiwe, ngemuva kwe-Ontario ngo-2.7 GW.Izwe lizibekele umgomo wokuba namandla elanga aphelele angama-35 GW ngo-2050.
