Tucson Power yati ili ndi mphamvu zokwanira kuti ikwaniritse nsonga zomwe zikuyembekezeka komanso kusunga ma air conditioner akung'ung'udza chilimwechi.
Koma ndikusintha kuchoka ku zomera zowotchedwa ndi malasha kupita ku zida za dzuwa ndi mphepo, kutentha kwanyengo yachilimwe komanso msika wocheperako wamagetsi kumadzulo, zolinga zopewera kuzimitsa zikuchulukirachulukira, TEP ndi zida zina zidauza oyang'anira boma sabata yatha..
Malinga ndi kafukufuku watsopano wothandizidwa ndi TEP ndi zida zina zakumwera chakumadzulo, pofika chaka cha 2025, ngati ma projekiti onse akum'mwera chakumadzulo akukonzekera mphamvu zongowonjezwdwa satha pa nthawi yake, sangathe kukwaniritsa kufunika kwa magetsi.
Pa msonkhano wapachaka wokonzekera chilimwe wa Arizona Corporation Commission sabata yatha, akuluakulu ochokera ku TEP ndi mlongo wakumidzi UniSource Energy Services adati ali ndi kuthekera kokwanira m'badwo wokwanira kukwaniritsa zofunikira zachilimwe zomwe zikuyembekezeka kupitilira 2021.
"Tili ndi mphamvu zokwanira zokwanira ndipo timamva kuti takonzekera bwino kutentha kwa chilimwe ndi kufunikira kwakukulu kwa mphamvu," anatero wolankhulira TEP Joe Barrios."Komabe, tikhala tikuyang'anitsitsa nyengo komanso msika wathu wamagetsi m'chigawo, tili ndi mapulani adzidzidzi pakakhala ngozi."
Arizona Public Service, bungwe lalikulu kwambiri lamagetsi m'boma, bungwe lodzilamulira lokha la Salt River Project ndi Arizona Electric Cooperative, lomwe limapatsa mphamvu mabungwe amagetsi akumidzi m'boma, adauzanso olamulira kuti ali ndi mphamvu zokwanira zokonzekera chilimwe.
Kudalirika kwanyengo yachilimwe kwadetsa nkhawa kwambiri kuyambira mu Ogasiti 2020, pomwe kuchepa kwa magetsi panthawi ya kutentha komwe kunachitika ku West kumapangitsa oyendetsa ma transmission ku California kuti akhazikitse kuzimitsa kwamagetsi kuti apewe kugwa kwadongosolo lonse.
Arizona idakwanitsa kupewa kuzimitsa mwa zina ndi mapulogalamu oyankha zofunidwa komanso zoyeserera zoteteza makasitomala, koma okhometsa misonkho aboma adanyamula mtengo wakukwera kwamitengo yamagetsi m'chigawo panthawi yamavuto.
Kudera lonselo, kukonzekera kwazinthu kwakhala kovuta kwambiri chifukwa cha kutentha kwakukulu kwa chilimwe ndi chilala, zoletsa kutumizidwa kwa magetsi ku California, maunyolo ogulitsa ndi zinthu zina zomwe zimakhudza mapulojekiti a dzuwa ndi kusungirako zinthu, Lee Alter, mkulu wa mapulani azinthu za TEP ndi UES, anauza olamulira..
Kutengera kufunikira komwe kumawonetsa kutentha kwanyengo yachilimwe, ntchitoyo idzalowa m'nyengo yachilimwe ndi malire osungira (opanga zochulukirapo kuposa zomwe zikuyembekezeredwa) za 16%, Alter adatero.
Katswiri Darrell Neil amagwira ntchito pa imodzi mwa maholo a H. Wilson Sundt Power Station ku Tucson, yomwe imakhala ndi injini zoyatsira zamkati zisanu za TEP 10.
Mphepete mwa malo osungiramo zinthu zimathandizira kuti zinthu zizikhala ndi chitetezo cholimbana ndi zomwe zimafunikira kwambiri kuposa momwe zimayembekezeredwa chifukwa cha nyengo yoopsa komanso kusokonekera kwa zinthu, monga kuzimitsidwa kosakonzekera kwa fakitole yamagetsi kapena kuwonongeka kwa mizere yotumizira magetsi.
Bungwe la Western Electric Power Coordinating Board linati ndalama zosungirako zokwana 16 peresenti pachaka zimafunika kuti pakhale chuma chokwanira m'chipululu chakumwera chakumadzulo, kuphatikizapo Arizona, mpaka 2021.
Arizona Public Service Co. ikuyembekeza kuti chiwongola dzanja chiwonjezere pafupifupi 4 peresenti mpaka 7,881 megawati, ndipo ikukonzekera kusunga malire osungira pafupifupi 15 peresenti.
Ort adati zinali zovuta kupeza magwero owonjezera owonjezera owonjezera, monga mapangano okhazikika otumizira magetsi mtsogolo, kukulitsa malire pakati pamisika yolimba yamagetsi kumadzulo.
"M'mbuyomu, m'derali munali mphamvu zokwanira kuti ngati mukufuna zambiri, mungapite kukagula zambiri, koma msika wakhazikika," Alter anauza komiti yamakampani.
Alter adanenanso za nkhawa zomwe zikuchulukirachulukira kuti chilala chotalikirapo mumtsinje wa Colorado River Basin chikhoza kuyimitsa kupanga magetsi amadzi ku Glen Canyon Dam kapena Hoover Dam, pomwe woyendetsa gridi waku California akupitiliza ndondomeko yomwe idakhazikitsidwa chaka chatha yochepetsa mphamvu zamagetsi zamagetsi kunja kwadzidzidzi.
Barrios adati TEP ndi UES sizidalira madamu a Mtsinje wa Colorado kuti apange magetsi opangira magetsi, koma kutayika kwa zinthuzo kungatanthauze mphamvu yamagetsi yocheperako yomwe ikupezeka mderali ndikuwonjezera kusowa ndi mitengo.
Kumbali yabwino, TEP sabata yatha idayamba kutenga nawo gawo ku Western Energy Imbalance Market, msika wamagetsi wamagetsi wamagetsi pafupifupi pafupifupi 20 omwe amayendetsedwa ndi California Independent System Operator.
Ngakhale osawonjezera mphamvu zopangira magetsi, msika uthandiza TEP kusamalitsa zinthu zapakatikati monga dzuwa ndi mphepo, kupewa kusakhazikika kwa gridi ndikuwongolera kudalirika kwadongosolo, adatero Alter.
Tucson Power ndi zida zina zidauza oyang'anira boma sabata yatha kuti zolinga zopewera kuzimitsa zikuchulukirachulukira pakati pakusintha kuchokera ku zomera zowotchedwa ndi malasha kupita kuzinthu zadzuwa ndi mphepo, kutentha kwanyengo yachilimwe komanso msika wamagetsi wakumadzulo.
Pofotokoza kafukufuku waposachedwa wa Environmental + Energy Economics (E3), Alter adati TEP ndi zida zina zakumwera chakumadzulo zimakumana ndi zovuta zazikulu pakukwaniritsa kufunikira kwamphamvu kwamagetsi pamene akusintha kuchoka ku mibadwo yowotchedwa ndi malasha m'zaka zikubwerazi.
"Kukula kwa katundu ndi kutaya kwazinthu kukupanga kufunikira kwakukulu komanso kofulumira kwa zipangizo zatsopano kumwera chakumadzulo," adatero E3, lipoti loperekedwa ndi TEP, Arizona Public Service, Salt River Project, Arizona Electric Cooperative, El Paso Power kulemba .. ndi New Malingaliro a kampani Mexico Public Service Corporation

Kudera lonselo, zogwiritsidwa ntchito zidzakumana ndi kuchepa kwa m'badwo wa pafupifupi 4 GW pofika 2025, ndi zipangizo zomwe zilipo ndi zomera zomwe zikukula panopa.
Southwest Utilities ikufuna kufunikira kwakukulu, kulonjeza kuwonjezera pafupifupi magigawati 5 a mphamvu zatsopano, ndi mapulani owonjezera ma gigawatts ena 14.4 pofika 2025, lipotilo linatero.
Koma lipoti la E3 lati kuchedwa kulikonse kwa mapulani omanga othandizira kungayambitse kuchepa kwa magetsi mtsogolo, zomwe zitha kukweza ziwopsezo zodalirika kwazaka khumi kapena kuposerapo.
"Ngakhale kuti chiwopsezochi chikuwoneka ngati chakutali munthawi yake, kusokonekera kwa zinthu, kusowa kwa zinthu komanso misika yotsika ya anthu ogwira ntchito zakhudza nthawi yantchito m'dziko lonselo," adatero kafukufukuyu.
Mu 2021, TEP idawonjezera ma megawati 449 a mphepo ndi dzuwa, zomwe zimapangitsa kampaniyo kupereka pafupifupi 30% yamagetsi ake kuchokera kuzinthu zongowonjezwdwa.
Malinga ndi kafukufuku watsopano wothandizidwa ndi TEP ndi zida zina zakumwera chakumadzulo, pofika chaka cha 2025, ngati ma projekiti onse akum'mwera chakumadzulo akukonzekera mphamvu zongowonjezwdwa satha pa nthawi yake, sangathe kukwaniritsa kufunika kwa magetsi.
TEP ili ndi pulojekiti yoyendera dzuwa yomwe ikumangidwa, pulojekiti ya dzuwa ya 15 MW Raptor Ridge PV pafupi ndi East Valencia Road ndi Interstate 10, yomwe ikuyembekezeka kubwera pa intaneti kumapeto kwa chaka chino, mothandizidwa ndi pulogalamu yolembetsa yamakasitomala a Solar Home.
Kumayambiriro kwa mwezi wa April, TEP inalengeza pempho la gwero lonse la malingaliro ofikira ma megawati a 250 a mphamvu zongowonjezwdwa ndi mphamvu zogwiritsira ntchito mphamvu, kuphatikizapo dzuwa ndi mphepo, ndi pulogalamu yoyankhira zofuna kuchepetsa kugwiritsidwa ntchito panthawi ya kufunikira kwakukulu.TEP ilinso kufunafuna "mphamvu zokhazikika" zofikira ku 300MW, kuphatikiza makina osungira mphamvu omwe amapereka maola osachepera anayi patsiku m'chilimwe, kapena kufunafuna mayankho amachitidwe.
UES yapereka ma tender ofikira 170 MW a mphamvu zongowonjezwdwa ndi mphamvu zowongoleredwa ndi mphamvu zofikira ku 150 MW zazinthu zamakampani.
TEP ndi UES akuyembekeza kuti chida chatsopanocho chidzayamba kugwira ntchito pofika Meyi 2024, koma pasanathe Meyi 2025.
