I-Hawaiian Electric ifaka inethiwekhi yeziteshi zezulu ezingu-52 ezindaweni ezivame ukuba nomlilo wequbula eziqhingini ezine zaseHawaii.
Iziteshi zezulu zizosiza inkampani ukuthi iphendule ezimweni zezulu zomlilo ngokunikeza ulwazi olubalulekile mayelana nomoya, izinga lokushisa kanye nomswakama.
Le nkampani ithi ulwazi luzosiza inkampani ukuthi inqume ukuthi izoqala yini ukuvala ugesi ngaphambi kokusebenzisa amandla.
Kusukela esitatimendeni sezindaba se-Hawaiian Electric:
Le phrojekthi ihlanganisa ukufakwa kweziteshi zesimo sezulu ezingu-52 eziqhingini ezine. Iziteshi zesimo sezulu, ezifakwe ezigxotsheni zikagesi zaseHawaiian, zizohlinzeka ngemininingwane yesimo sezulu ezosiza inkampani ukuthi inqume ukuthi ivule futhi ivale yini ukuvala ugesi wokuphepha komphakathi, noma i-PSPS. Ngaphansi kohlelo lwe-PSPS olwethulwe ngoJulayi 1, iHawaiian Electric ingase ivale ugesi ngaphambi kwesikhathi ezindaweni ezisengozini enkulu yemililo yasendle ngezikhathi zemimoya enamandla nezimo ezomile ezibikezelwe.
Lo msebenzi ongamaRandi ayizigidi ezingu-1.7 ungomunye wezinyathelo zokuphepha zesikhathi esiseduze ezicishe zibe amashumi amabili nane i-Hawaiian Electric ezisebenzisayo ukunciphisa amathuba omlilo wasendle ohlobene nengqalasizinda yenkampani ezindaweni ezikhonjwe njengezibeka engcupheni ephezulu. Cishe u-50% wezindleko zephrojekthi uzombozwa yizimali zikahulumeni ezibekwe ngaphansi koMthetho Wokutshalwa Kwezimali Nemisebenzi Kahulumeni (IIJA) olinganiselwa ku-$95 million ekuxhasweni kwezibonelelo okumboza izindleko ezahlukene ezihlobene nomsebenzi wokuqina kwe-Hawaiian Electric kanye nokunciphisa umlilo wasendle.
“Lezi ziteshi zezulu zizodlala indima ebalulekile njengoba siqhubeka nokuthatha isinyathelo sokubhekana nengozi ekhulayo yemililo yasendle,” kusho uJim Alberts, iphini likamongameli omkhulu weHawaiian Electric kanye nesikhulu esiphezulu semisebenzi. “Ulwazi oluningiliziwe abalunikezayo luzosenza sikwazi ukuthatha isinyathelo sokuvimbela ngokushesha ukuze sivikele ukuphepha komphakathi.”
Le nkampani isivele iqedile ukufakwa kweziteshi zezulu ezindaweni ezingu-31 ezibaluleke kakhulu esigabeni sokuqala salo msebenzi. Ezinye ezingu-21 zihlelelwe ukufakwa ekupheleni kukaJulayi. Uma sekuqediwe, kuzoba neziteshi zezulu ezingu-52 sezizonke: ezingu-23 eMaui, ezingu-15 eHawai'i Island, ezingu-12 e-Oahu kanye nezimbili eMoloka'i.
I-Hawaiian Electric inkontileka ne-Western Weather Group eseCalifornia ngemishini yesiteshi sezulu kanye nezinsizakalo zokusekela. Iziteshi zesimo sezulu zisebenza ngamandla elanga futhi ziqopha izinga lokushisa, umswakama ohlobene, isivinini somoya kanye nesiqondiso. I-Western Weather Group ingumhlinzeki ohamba phambili wezinsizakalo zesimo sezulu ze-PSPS embonini kagesi esiza izinsiza kulo lonke elase-US ngokubhekana nengozi yomlilo wasendle.
I-Hawaiian Electric iphinde yabelane ngemininingwane yesiteshi sesimo sezulu ne-National Weather Service (NWS), izikhungo zemfundo, kanye nezinye izinsizakalo zokubikezela isimo sezulu ukusiza ekuthuthukiseni ikhono lesifundazwe sonke lokubikezela ngokunembile izimo zesimo sezulu somlilo ezingaba khona.
Iziteshi zesimo sezulu ziyingxenye eyodwa nje yeSu Lokuphepha Komlilo Wasendle laseHawaiian Electric elinamazinga amaningi. Le nkampani isivele iqalise izinguquko eziningana ezindaweni ezinobungozi obukhulu, okuhlanganisa nokwethula uhlelo lwe-PSPS ngoJulayi 1, ukufakwa kwamakhamera okuthola umlilo wasendle athuthukisiwe nge-AI, ukuthunyelwa kwama-spotter ezindaweni ezinobungozi, kanye nokuqaliswa kwezilungiselelo zokuhamba ngokushesha ukuze kucinywe ngokuzenzakalelayo ugesi kusekethe endaweni enobungozi lapho kutholwa ukuphazamiseka kusekethe.
