Iziteshi Zezulu ZaseHawaii Zokufaka Ugesi Ezindaweni Ezithandwa Umlilo

I-Hawaiian Electric ifaka inethiwekhi yeziteshi zesimo sezulu ezingu-52 ezindaweni ezithandwa ngumlilo wequbula eziqhingini ezine zaseHawaii.

Iziteshi zesimo sezulu zizosiza inkampani ukuthi iphendule ezimweni zezulu zomlilo ngokunikeza ulwazi olubalulekile mayelana nomoya, izinga lokushisa kanye nomswakama.

Le nkampani ithi imininingwane izophinde isize inkampani ukuthi inqume ukuthi ingaqala yini ukuvala ugesi ngaphambi kwesikhathi.

Kusukela ku-Hawaiian Electric news release:
Lo msebenzi uhlanganisa ukufakwa kweziteshi zesimo sezulu ezingama-52 eziqhingini ezine. Iziteshi zesimo sezulu, ezifakwe ezigxotsheni zezinsiza ze-Hawaiian Electric, zizohlinzeka ngedatha yesimo sezulu ezosiza inkampani ukuthi inqume ukuthi ivule futhi ivale ukuvala amandla okuphepha komphakathi, noma i-PSPS. Ngaphansi kohlelo lwe-PSPS olwethulwe ngomhla ka-1 Julayi, i-Hawaiian Electric ingase ivale ugesi ngokungafanele ezindaweni ezisengozini enkulu yomlilo wequbula ngezikhathi zokubikezela kwemimoya ephezulu nezimo ezomile.

Iphrojekthi ka-$1.7 million ingenye yezinyathelo zokuphepha ezicishe zibe ngamashumi amabili nambili ezisetshenziswa yi-Hawaiian Electric ukuze kuncishiswe amathuba omlilo wequbula ohambisana nengqalasizinda yenkampani ezindaweni ezihlonzwe njengezibeka engcupheni enkulu. Cishe u-50% wezindleko zephrojekthi uzokhokhelwa yizimali zikahulumeni ezabiwe ngaphansi koMthetho we-federal Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) olinganiselwa ku-$95 million woxhaso lwemali oluhlanganisa izindleko ezihlukahlukene ezihlobene nomsebenzi wokuqina we-Hawaiian Electric kanye nomsebenzi wokunciphisa umlilo wequbula.

"Lezi ziteshi zesimo sezulu zizodlala indima ebalulekile njengoba siqhubeka nokuthatha isinyathelo sokubhekana nengozi ekhulayo yomlilo wequbula," kusho uJim Alberts, iphini likamongameli omkhulu weHawaiian Electric kanye nesikhulu esiphezulu semisebenzi. "Imininingwane enemininingwane abayinikezayo izosivumela ukuthi sithathe izinyathelo zokuvikela ngokushesha ukuze sivikele ukuphepha komphakathi."

Inkampani isiqedile ukufakwa kweziteshi zesimo sezulu ezindaweni ezibaluleke kakhulu ezingama-31 esigabeni sokuqala salo msebenzi. Amanye angama-21 ahlelelwe ukufakwa ekupheleni kukaJulayi. Lapho sekuqediwe, kuzoba nenani leziteshi zesimo sezulu ezingama-52: 23 eMaui, 15 e-Hawaii Island, 12 e-Oahu nezimbili eMoloka'i.

I-Hawaiian Electric inenkontileka ne-California based Western Weather Group yemishini yesiteshi sezulu kanye nezinsizakalo zokusekela. Iziteshi zesimo sezulu zinamandla elanga futhi zirekhoda izinga lokushisa, umswakama ohlobene, isivinini somoya kanye nendlela. I-Western Weather Group ingumhlinzeki oholayo wezinsizakalo zesimo sezulu ze-PSPS embonini yezinsiza zikagesi esiza izinsiza kulo lonke elase-US ngokubhekana nobungozi bomlilo wequbula.

I-Hawaiian Electric iphinde yabelane ngedatha yesiteshi sezulu ne-National Weather Service (NWS), izikhungo zezemfundo, nezinye izinkonzo zokubikezela isimo sezulu ukuze isize ukuthuthukisa ikhono lezwe lonke lokubikezela ngokunembile izimo zezulu ezingaba khona umlilo.

Iziteshi zesimo sezulu ziyingxenye eyodwa ye-Hawaiian Electric's multi-pronged Wildfire Safety Strategy. Le nkampani isivele yenze izinguquko ezimbalwa ezindaweni ezisengozini enkulu, okuhlanganisa ukwethulwa kohlelo lwe-PSPS ngoJulayi 1, ukufakwa kwamakhamera okubona umlilo wequbula athuthukisiwe we-AI, ukuthunyelwa kwama-spotters ezindaweni ezisengozini, kanye nokuqaliswa kwezilungiselelo zohambo olusheshayo ukuvala ngokuzenzakalelayo ugesi kumjikelezo endaweni eyingozi lapho kutholakala ukuphazamiseka kumjikelezo.
