Ngokusho kwedatha evela ku-Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), i-solar entsha eyengeziwe yafakwa e-United States ezinyangeni eziyisishiyagalombili zokuqala zika-2023 kunanoma yimuphi omunye umthombo wamandla - uphethiloli wezinsalela noma ovuselelekayo.
Kweyakamuva yanyanga zonke“Ukubuyekezwa Kwengqalasizinda Yamandla”umbiko (ngedatha kuze kube ngu-Agasti 31, 2023), i-FERC irekhoda ukuthi ilanga linikeze u-8,980 MW wamandla amasha okuphehla ekhaya - noma u-40.5% wengqikithi.Ukwengezwa kwamandla elanga ngesikhathi sokuqala kwezingxenye ezimbili kwezintathu zalo nyaka bekungaphezu kokukodwa kokuthathu (35.9%) kukhudlwana kunesikhathi esifanayo ngonyaka odlule.
Esikhathini esifanayo esiyizinyanga eziyisishiyagalombili, umoya unikeze amandla engeziwe angu-2,761 MW (12.5%), ugesi wamanzi wafinyelela ku-224 MW, i-geothermal yengeza ama-MW angama-44 kanye ne-biomass yengeza ama-30 MW, okuletha ingqikithi yokuxutshwa kwemithombo yamandla avuselelekayo ku-54.3% wezinhlelo ezintsha.Igesi yemvelo yengeza i-8,949 MW, i-nuclear entsha yengeze i-1,100 MW, uwoyela wengeze i-32 MW kanye nokushisa kwemfucuza kwe-31 MW.Lokhu kungokokubuyekezwa kwedatha ye-FERC yi-SUN DAY Campaign.
Ukukhula okuqinile kweSolar kubonakala kuzoqhubeka.I-FERC ibika ukuthi ukwengezwa “okukhulu” kwe-solar phakathi kukaSepthemba 2023 no-Agasti 2026 sekukonke okungu-83,878-MW - inani elicishe liphindwe kane kunesengezo “sesibikezelo esingaba sikhulu” somoya (21,453 MW) nangaphezu kwezikhathi ezingama-20 ngaphezu lezo ezihlelelwe igesi yemvelo (4,037 MW).
Futhi izinombolo ze-solar zingase zibonise ukuthi ziyalondoloza.I-FERC iphinde ibike ukuthi kungase kube khona cishe u-214,160 MW wezengezo ezintsha zelanga emgqeni weminyaka emithathu.
Uma nje izengezo “ezinokwenzeka kakhulu” zenzeka, ngasekupheleni kwehlobo lika-2026, ilanga kufanele libe ngaphezu kwengxenye eyodwa kwesishiyagalombili (12.9%) yomthamo wokukhiqiza ofakiwe wesizwe.Lokho kungaba ngaphezu komoya (12.4%) noma ugesi wamanzi (7.5%).Amandla okukhiqiza eSolar afakiwe ngo-Agasti 2026 nawo azodlula uwoyela (2.6%) namandla enuzi (7.5%), kodwa awelele kancane kumalahle (13.8%).Igesi yemvelo isazoba nesabelo esikhulu kunazo zonke somthamo ophehlayo ofakiwe (41.7%), kodwa ingxube yayo yonke imithombo evuselelekayo ingaba ngu-34.2% futhi ibe sendleleni yokunciphisa umthofu wegesi yemvelo.
“Ngaphandle kokuphazamiseka, inyanga ngayinye amandla elanga akhulisa isabelo sawo samandla kagesi ase-US,” kuphawula umqondisi omkhulu we-SUN DAY Campaign uKen Bossong.“Manje, ngemva kweminyaka engu-50 kuqale ukuvinjelwa uwoyela wama-Arabhu ngo-1973, ilanga selikhulile lisuka ekubeni cishe lingenalutho laya engxenyeni enkulu yengxubevange yamandla esizweni.”
