ʻO Neil Etter, ka mea hoʻokele lumi hoʻomalu ma ke kahua hoʻokumu ʻo H. Wilson Sundt o Tucson Power.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Tucson Power ua lawa kona mana e hoʻokō i nā koi koi kiʻekiʻe i manaʻo ʻia a mālama i nā ea ea i kēia kauwela.
Akā me ka hoʻololi ʻana mai nā mea kanu i puhi ʻia i ka lā a me nā kumuwaiwai makani, ʻoi aku ka nui o nā mahana wela o ke kauwela a me ka mākeke mana paʻa i ke komohana, ʻoi aku ka maʻalahi o nā hoʻolālā e pale aku i nā outages, ua haʻi aku ʻo TEP a me nā mea pono ʻē aʻe i nā regulators mokuʻāina i ka pule i hala..
Wahi a kahi noiʻi hou i kākoʻo ʻia e TEP a me nā mea pono ʻē aʻe o ke Komohana Hema, ma ka makahiki 2025, inā ʻaʻole i hoʻopau ʻia nā papahana ikehu hou i hoʻolālā ʻia ma ke Komohana Hema, ʻaʻole hiki iā lākou ke hoʻokō i ka koi ulu uila.
Ma ka papa hana hoʻomākaukau kauwela makahiki o ke Kōmike ʻo Arizona i ka pule i hala, ua ʻōlelo nā luna mai TEP a me nā kaikuahine kuaʻāina ʻo UniSource Energy Services ua lawa lākou i ka hiki ke hoʻokō i nā koi kauwela i manaʻo ʻia e ʻoi aku ma mua o 2021 pae.
"Loaʻa iā mākou kahi lako ikehu kūpono a mākaukau mākou no ka wela o ke kauwela a me ka koi ikaika nui," wahi a ka waha ʻōlelo TEP Joe Barrios."Akā naʻe, e nānā pono mākou i ka lewa a me kā mākou mākeke ikehu kūloko, loaʻa iā mākou nā hoʻolālā contingency inā loaʻa kekahi pilikia."
ʻO Arizona Public Service, ka mea hoʻohana uila nui loa o ka mokuʻāina, ʻo ka Salt River Project a me Arizona Electric Cooperative, ka mea e mana ana i nā hui uila kuaʻāina o ka mokuʻāina, ua haʻi pū aku i nā mea hoʻoponopono ua lawa ko lākou mana e hoʻokō i nā koi i ke kauwela.
ʻO ka hilinaʻi o ke kauwela he mea hopohopo nui ia mai ʻAukake 2020, i ka wā o ka haʻahaʻa o ka mana i ka wā o ka wela wela o ke Komohana i koi ai i nā mea hoʻokele o ka ʻōnaehana hoʻouna o Kaleponi e hoʻokō i nā ʻeleʻele ʻōwili e pale aku i ka hiolo ʻana o ka ʻōnaehana holoʻokoʻa.
Ua hoʻokō ʻo Arizona i ka pale ʻana i ka pau ʻana me nā papahana pane-koi a me nā hoʻoikaika ʻana i ka mea kūʻai aku, akā na ka poʻe ʻauhau mokuʻāina i lawe i ke kumukūʻai o ka piʻi ʻana o nā kumukūʻai uila kūloko i ka wā pilikia.
Ma kēlā ʻaoʻao o ka ʻāina, ua lilo ka hoʻolālā waiwai i mea paʻakikī ma muli o ka wela wela o ke kauwela a me ka maloʻo, nā kaohi i ka lawe ʻana mai o ka uila o Kaleponi, nā kaulahao lako a me nā mea ʻē aʻe e pili ana i nā papahana lā a me ka mālama ʻana, ʻo Lee Alter, ka luna hoʻolālā waiwai no TEP a me UES, i haʻi aku i nā regulators..
Ma muli o ke koi e hōʻike ana i ka awelika o ke kauwela wela, e komo ka pono i ke kauwela me kahi palena palena nui (hoʻonui ʻia ma mua o ka noi wānana) o 16%, wahi a Alter.
Ke hana nei ʻo ʻenehana Darrell Neil ma kekahi o nā keʻena o ka H. Wilson Sundt Power Station ma Tucson, kahi e mālama ai i ʻelima o TEP's 10 reciprocating internal combustion engine.
Hāʻawi nā palena palena i nā pono hana me kahi pale e kūʻē i ka koi kiʻekiʻe aʻe ma mua o ka mea i manaʻo ʻia mai ka wā ʻoi loa a me ka hāʻawi ʻana i nā pilikia, e like me ka pani ʻole ʻana o ka mea kanu mana a i ʻole ka pōʻino ahi i nā laina hoʻouna.
Ua ʻōlelo ka Western Electric Power Coordinating Board, he 16 pakeneka ka mea e pono ai e mālama i nā kumuwaiwai kūpono ma ka wao nahele komohana hema, me Arizona, a hiki i 2021.
Manaʻo ʻo Arizona Public Service Co. i ka piʻi ʻana o ka koi kiʻekiʻe ma kahi o 4 pākēneka i 7,881 megawatts, a ke manaʻo nei e hoʻopaʻa i kahi palena ʻāina ma kahi o 15 pakeneka.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Ort he paʻakikī ka loaʻa ʻana o nā kumu ikehu hou, e like me nā ʻaelike paʻa no ka hoʻouna ʻana i ka mana e hiki mai ana, e hoʻonui i nā palena palena ma waena o nā mākeke mana paʻa i ke Komohana.
"I ka wā ma mua, ua lawa ka mana ma ka ʻāina inā makemake ʻoe i nā mea hou aku, e hele ʻoe e kūʻai hou aku, akā ua paʻa loa ka mākeke," i ʻōlelo aku ai ʻo Alter i ke komite ʻoihana.
Ua kuhikuhi pū ʻo Alter i ka ulu ʻana o nā hopohopo e hiki ai i kahi maloʻo lōʻihi ma Colorado River Basin ke hoʻōki i ka hoʻoulu ʻana o ka hydropower ma Glen Canyon Dam a i ʻole ka Hoover Dam, ʻoiai ke hoʻomau nei ka mea hoʻokele o Kaleponi i kahi kulekele i hoʻopaʻa ʻia i ka makahiki i hala e kaupalena ʻia ka mana hoʻokele uila.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Barrios ʻaʻole hilinaʻi ʻo TEP a me UES i nā pā wai o Colorado River no ka mana hydroelectric, akā ʻo ka lilo ʻana o ia mau kumuwaiwai ʻo ia ke ʻano o ka liʻiliʻi o ka mana i loaʻa ma ka ʻāina a hoʻonui i ka liʻiliʻi a me nā kumukūʻai.
Ma ka ʻaoʻao ʻē aʻe, ua hoʻomaka ʻo TEP i ka pule i hala i ke komo ʻana i ka Western Energy Imbalance Market, kahi mākeke uila kūʻai manawa maoli no kahi o 20 mau mea pono e mālama ʻia e California Independent System Operator.
ʻOiai ʻaʻole e hoʻohui i ka mana o ka mana, e kōkua ka mākeke iā TEP i ka hoʻohālikelike ʻana i nā kumuwaiwai intermittent e like me ka lā a me ka makani, e pale i ka instability grid a hoʻomaikaʻi i ka hilinaʻi o ka ʻōnaehana, wahi a Alter.
Ua haʻi aku ʻo Tucson Power a me nā mea pono ʻē aʻe i nā mea hoʻoponopono mokuʻāina i ka pule i hala aku nei e hoʻolālā ana e pale i nā outages ma waena o ka neʻe ʻana mai nā mea kanu i puhi ʻia i ka lā a me nā kumu makani, ʻoi aku ka wela o ke kauwela a me ka mākeke ikaika o ke komohana.
Ma ka haʻi ʻana i kahi noiʻi hou e Environmental + Energy Economics (E3), ua ʻōlelo ʻo Alter ʻo TEP a me nā mea pono ʻē aʻe o ke Komohana Hema e kū nei i nā pilikia koʻikoʻi i ka hoʻokō ʻana i nā koi mana kiʻekiʻe i ko lākou neʻe ʻana mai ka hanauna puhi lanahu i nā makahiki e hiki mai ana.
"Ke hoʻokumu nei ka ulu ʻana o ka ukana a me ka decommissioning waiwai i kahi koi nui a wikiwiki hoʻi no nā kumuwaiwai hou ma ke Komohana Hema," wahi a E3, kahi hōʻike i kauoha ʻia e TEP, Arizona Public Service, Salt River Project, Arizona Electric Cooperative, El Paso Power kākau.. a me New Hui Hana Aupuni o Mekiko.
"ʻO ka mālama ʻana i ka hilinaʻi kūloko e hilinaʻi ʻia inā hiki i nā mea pono ke hoʻohui i nā kumuwaiwai hou me ka wikiwiki e hoʻokō i kēia koi ulu a koi i ka wikiwiki o ka hoʻomohala ʻana ma ka ʻāina," i pau ai ka haʻawina.
Ma kēlā ʻaoʻao o ka ʻāina, e kū ana nā pono hana i kahi pōkole o ka hanauna ma kahi o 4 GW e 2025, me nā kumuwaiwai a me nā mea kanu i kēia manawa ke kūkulu ʻia nei.
Ke hoʻoikaika nei ʻo Southwest Utilities no ka koi kiʻekiʻe, e hoʻohiki ana e hoʻohui i kahi 5 gigawatts o ka mana hou, me nā hoʻolālā e hoʻohui hou i 14.4 gigawatts e 2025, wahi a ka hōʻike.
Akā ʻo ka hōʻike E3 i ʻōlelo ʻia e hiki ke hoʻolōʻihi i ka hoʻolālā kūkulu ʻana o ka pono i ka hemahema o ka mana o ka wā e hiki mai ana, hiki ke hoʻonui i nā pilikia hilinaʻi o ka ʻōnaehana no kahi ʻumi makahiki a ʻoi aku paha.
"ʻOiai e like paha kēia pilikia ma lalo o nā kūlana maʻamau, ua hoʻopilikia ʻia nā kaulahao hoʻolako, nā hemahema waiwai a me nā mākeke hana paʻa i ka hopena o nā manawa hana ma ka ʻāina," wahi a ka noiʻi.
I ka makahiki 2021, ua hoʻohui ʻo TEP i 449 megawatts o ka makani a me nā kumuwaiwai lā, e hiki ai i ka hui ke hāʻawi ma kahi o 30% o kāna uila mai nā kumu hou.
Wahi a kahi noiʻi hou i kākoʻo ʻia e TEP a me nā mea pono ʻē aʻe o ke Komohana Hema, ma ka makahiki 2025, inā ʻaʻole i hoʻopau ʻia nā papahana ikehu hou i hoʻolālā ʻia ma ke Komohana Hema, ʻaʻole hiki iā lākou ke hoʻokō i ka koi ulu uila.
Loaʻa i ka TEP kahi papahana solar e kūkulu ʻia ana, ʻo ka 15 MW Raptor Ridge PV solar project ma kahi kokoke i East Valencia Road a me Interstate 10, i manaʻo ʻia e hele mai ma ka pūnaewele ma hope o kēia makahiki, i hoʻoikaika ʻia e ka mea kūʻai aku i ka papahana hoʻopaʻa inoa lā ʻo GoSolar Home.
I ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ʻApelila, hoʻolaha ʻo TEP i kahi noi kumu āpau no nā noi no ka 250 megawatts o ka ikehu hou a me nā kumu waiwai ikaika, me ka lā a me ka makani, a me kahi papahana pane-koi e hōʻemi i ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka wā o ka koi nui. e ʻimi ana i nā kumuwaiwai "kūpono paʻa" a hiki i 300MW, me nā ʻōnaehana mālama ikehu e hāʻawi ana ma kahi o ʻehā hola o ka lā i ke kauwela, a i ʻole ke koi ʻana i nā hoʻolālā pane.
Ua hoʻopuka ʻo UES i nā makana a hiki i ka 170 MW o ka ikehu hou a me nā kumu waiwai pono o ka ikehu a hiki i ka 150 MW o nā kumuwaiwai mana hui.
Manaʻo ʻo TEP a me UES e hoʻohana ʻia ka punawai hou ma mua o Mei 2024, akā ʻaʻole ma mua o Mei 2025.
Papa hoʻoheheʻe turbine ma ka H. Wilson Sundt Power Station ma 3950 E. Irvington Road ma 2017.
Ma waena o ka hoʻomaha ʻana o nā mea kanu puhi lanahu, pono e hana wikiwiki ʻo TEP, me ka pani ʻana o Iune i ka 170-megawatt Unit 1 ma San Juan Power Station ma ke komohana ʻākau o New Mexico.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Barrios he pilikia mau ka mālama ʻana i ka hiki o ka hanauna, akā ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o TEP ma mua o kekahi o kona mau hoalauna kūloko.
Ua haʻi ʻo ia i ka New Mexico Public Service Corporation, ka mea i haʻi aku i nā regulators ʻaʻole i loaʻa kahi waihona mālama mālama i Iulai a i ʻAukake.
Ua hoʻoholo ʻo New Mexico Public Service i Pepeluali e mālama i kahi ʻāpana hana lanahu hou i San Juan e holo ana a hiki i Sepatemaba, ʻekolu mahina ma hope o kona lā hoʻomaha i hoʻolālā ʻia, e hoʻonui i kāna palena mālama kauwela.
Ke hana nei hoʻi ʻo TEP i kahi papahana noi-pane kahi e ʻae ai nā mea kūʻai aku i nā pono hana e hōʻemi i ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka uila i nā wā kiʻekiʻe e pale aku ai i nā hemahema, wahi a Barrios.
Hiki i ka mea hoʻohana ke hana i kēia manawa me nā mea kūʻai kālepa a me nā ʻoihana e hōʻemi koke i ka noi e like me 40 megawatts, wahi a Barrios, a aia kahi papahana hoʻokele hou e hiki ai i kekahi poʻe noho hale ke loaʻa i kahi hōʻaiʻē kālā he $ 10 e hōʻemi i ka koi ʻO kā lākou mea hoʻomehana wai. ka hoʻohana ʻana mai ka piko.
Ke hui pū nei ka mea hoʻohana me Tucson Water ma kahi hoʻolaha hou "Beat the Peak" e koi aku i nā mea kūʻai aku e hōʻemi i ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka ikehu i nā manawa kiʻekiʻe, ʻo ia ka 3 a 7 pm i ke kauwela, wahi a Barrios.
E hoʻokomo ʻia ka hoʻolaha i nā hoʻolaha ma ka media media a me nā wikiō e kono ana i nā mea kūʻai aku e ʻimi i nā hoʻolālā kumukūʻai a me nā koho ʻoi aku ka ikaika e kōkua i ka hōʻemi ʻana i ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka hola kiʻekiʻe, wahi āna.
ʻO ka napoʻo ʻana o ka lā ma luna o ka muliwai Rillito i ka lā 1 o Kepakemapa, 2021, ma Santa Cruz, he lā ma hope o ka Tropical Storm Nora i lawe mai ai i nā hola ua ma Tucson, Arizona.Ma kahi kokoke i ka hui ʻana o ka muliwai ʻo Santa Cruz, ʻaneʻane e kahe ana ma kahi kapa hoʻokahi.
Hoʻokomo ʻo Jeff Bartsch i kahi ʻeke one ma luna o kahi kaʻa ʻoki ma kahi o Hi Corbett Field ma Tucson, Arizona, ma ʻAukake 30, 2021. ʻO Bartsch, e noho ana ma kahi o Craycroft Road a me 22nd Street, ua ʻōlelo ʻo ke keʻena o kāna wahine, ʻo ia hoʻi ka hale kaʻa, ua hoʻopiha ʻia i ʻelua wai. Manaʻo ʻia e lawe mai ka ʻino Tropical Nora i ka ua nui a e hoʻoulu hou i ka wai.
Hele ka poʻe hele wāwae ma mua o ka Capitol a me Intersection 6 i ka ua ʻana o nā koena o Tropical Storm Nora ma luna o Tucson, Arizona, ma ʻAukake 31, 2021.
Hoʻopiha ka poʻe i nā ʻeke one ma Hi Corbett Field i ka wā e kaʻa ana nā ao ma luna o Tucson, Arizona, i ka lā 30 ʻAukake, 2021. Manaʻo ʻia ka ʻino ʻino ʻo Nora e lawe mai i ka ua nui a hoʻoulu hou i ka wai.
ʻO Elaine Gomez. Ua kōkua kona kaikoʻeke, ʻo Lucyann Trujillo, iā ia e hoʻopiha i kahi ʻeke one kokoke i Hi Corbett Field ma Tucson, Arizona, ma ʻAukake 30, 2021. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Gomez, e noho ana ma kahi o 19th Street a me Claycroft Road, ua kahe ka hale i kekahi mau kāne. He pule i hala aku nei. Ua manaʻo ʻia e lawe mai ka ʻino ʻino ʻo Nora i ka ua nui a hoʻoulu hou i ka wai.
Hoʻopiha ka poʻe i nā ʻeke one ma Hi Corbett Field i ka wā e kaʻa ana nā ao ma luna o Tucson, Arizona, i ka lā 30 ʻAukake, 2021. Manaʻo ʻia ka ʻino ʻino ʻo Nora e lawe mai i ka ua nui a hoʻoulu hou i ka wai.
