I-Hawaiian Electric ifaka iziteshi zesimo sezulu ezindaweni ezivame ukusha

I-HAWAII – Iziteshi zezulu zizohlinzeka ngemininingwane ukusiza izinkampani zikagesi ukuthi zinqume ukuthi zivule noma zivale ukuvala ngenxa yezizathu zokuphepha komphakathi.
(BIVN) – I-Hawaiian Electric ifaka inethiwekhi yeziteshi zezulu ezingu-52 ezindaweni ezivame ukuba nomlilo wequbula kuzo zonke iziQhingi zaseHawaii ezine.
Isiteshi sezulu sizosiza amabhizinisi ukulungiselela izimo zezulu zomlilo ngokunikeza ulwazi olubalulekile mayelana nomoya, izinga lokushisa kanye nomswakama.
Lolu lwazi luzosiza izikhungo zokusiza umphakathi ukuthi zinqume ukuthi ziqale yini ukuvala izingcingo ngokushesha, kusho inkampani.
Le phrojekthi ihlanganisa ukufakwa kweziteshi zesimo sezulu ezingu-52 eziqhingini ezine. Iziteshi zesimo sezulu ezifakwe ezigxotsheni zeHawaiian Electric zizohlinzeka ngedatha yesimo sezulu ezosiza inkampani ukuthi inqume ukuthi ivule noma ivale uhlelo lokuvala ugesi lokuphepha komphakathi (i-PSPS). Ngaphansi kohlelo lwe-PSPS, olwethulwe ngoJulayi 1, iHawaiian Electric ingavala ugesi ngendlela eqhubekayo ezindaweni ezinengozi enkulu yemililo yasendle ngesikhathi sezulu esinomoya nesomile.
Lo msebenzi ongamaRandi ayizigidi ezingu-1.7 ungomunye wezinyathelo zokuphepha zesikhashana ezicishe zibe amashumi amabili nane i-Hawaiian Electric ezisebenzisayo ukunciphisa amathuba okuba khona kwemililo yasendle ehlobene nengqalasizinda yenkampani ezindaweni ezinobungozi obukhulu. Cishe amaphesenti angama-50 ezindleko zalo msebenzi azombozwa yizimali zikahulumeni ze-IIJA, ezimele cishe amaRandi ayizigidi ezingu-95 ezibonelelweni ezimboza izindleko ezahlukene ezihlobene nemizamo yokuzinza ye-Hawaiian Electric kanye nemizamo yokunciphisa imiphumela yemililo yasendle.
“Lezi ziteshi zezulu zizodlala indima ebalulekile njengoba siqhubeka nokubhekana nengozi ekhulayo yemililo yasendle,” kusho uJim Alberts, iphini likamongameli omkhulu weHawaiian Electric Co. kanye nesikhulu esiphezulu sokusebenza. “Ulwazi oluningiliziwe abalunikezayo luzosisiza ukuthi sithathe isinyathelo sokuvimbela ngokushesha ukuze sivikele ukuphepha komphakathi.”
Le nkampani isiqedile ukufaka iziteshi zesimo sezulu ezindaweni ezingu-31 ezibalulekile esigabeni sokuqala sephrojekthi. Kuhlelwe ukuthi kufakwe amanye amayunithi angu-21 ekupheleni kukaJulayi. Uma sekuqediwe, kuzoba neziteshi zesimo sezulu ezingu-52: ezingu-23 eMaui, ezingu-15 eHawaii Island, ezingu-12 e-Oahu kanye nezi-2 eMoloka Island.
Isiteshi sezulu sisebenza ngamandla elanga futhi siqopha amazinga okushisa, umswakama ohlobene, isivinini somoya kanye nesiqondiso. I-Western Weather Group ingumhlinzeki ohamba phambili wezinsizakalo zesimo sezulu ze-PSPS embonini yamandla, esiza izinsiza kulo lonke elase-United States ukuthi ziphendule ezingozini zomlilo 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 lokubikezela ngokunembile izimo zesimo sezulu somlilo ezingaba khona kulo lonke izwe.
Isiteshi sezulu siyingxenye eyodwa nje yesu lokuphepha komlilo wasendle le-Hawaiian Electric elinezici eziningi. Le nkampani iqalise izinguquko eziningana ezindaweni ezinobungozi obukhulu, okuhlanganisa ukuqaliswa kohlelo lwe-PSPS ngoJulayi 1, ukufakwa kwamakhamera okuthola umlilo wasendle anezinqumo eziphezulu ahlonyiswe ngobuhlakani bokwenziwa, ukuthunyelwa kwababukeli ezindaweni ezinobungozi kanye nokuqaliswa kwezilungiselelo zokuhamba okusheshayo ukuze kutholakale ngokuzenzakalelayo izifunda lapho zenzeka. Uma kutholwa ukuphazamiseka, vala ugesi kuma-circuits endawo enobungozi.
