Inkanyamba ibeka iPuerto Rico, ukohlwaya ibango labavelisi

I-Puerto Rico ifikile i-hard firricane, ibangela ukungabikho kwamandla ombane kunye nemfuno yemfuno yabavelisi abaphathwayo njengabahlali bayakukhusela eminye imithombo yombane.

Isaqhwithi, esasihambahamba kwiSiqithi seCaribbean esinemimoya enzima kunye nemvula enkulu, ishiye malunga nesiqingatha samakhaya amakhaya ePuerto Rico kunye namashishini ngaphandle kwengxelo yokuqala. Umonakalo kwiziseko zombane zenziwe kakhulu, kwaye iinkampani zokusebenzisa ziyasokola ukuvavanya ngokupheleleyo umonakalo kwaye zisekele ixesha lokubuyiselwa.

Emva kweNkanyamba, abahlali baphelelwe ngabavelisi njengemihlambi ebalulekileyo. Ngeevenkile zokutya ezichaphazelekileyo kukuvela kwamandla, ukufumana umthombo onokuthenjwa wombane kube yinto ephambili kakhulu kwabaninzi.

"Ibango labavelisi lisibhakabhaka ukusukela kwinkanyamba ye-Harricane. "Abantu bafuna nayiphi na indlela yokugcina amakhaya awo axhobise, ekuqhayiseni ukutya ukuze ahlawule iifowuni zabo."

Unyango lwemfuno alupheleli kwi-puerto rico yodwa. Ngokutsho koPhando lweNtlambo, imakethi yendawo yehlabathi yehlabathi iqikelelwe ukuba ikhule ivela kwi-20billinin2019tor15to25 yezigidi ngezigidi ezingama-2024, ifakwe kukukhutshwa kwamandla ombane kunye nemfuno yezizwe ezingenakuphuhliswa kuzo zombini izizwe eziphuhliswayo nezingaphuhlayo.

EMntla Melika, ngakumbi kwimimandla enjengePuerto Rico neMexico kangangokuba amava okusikeka kwamandla aqhelekileyo, ii-50 kw abanini-zixhobo eziphathekayo ziba lukhetho oluhle kakhulu. Ezi phumela zilungele kakuhle indawo yokuhlala kunye nokusetyenziswa kwamashishini amancinci, ukubonelela ngamandla awoneleyo ukuqhuba izixhobo ezifanelekileyo ngexesha lokuphuma.

Ngaphezu koko, ukusetyenziswa kwetekhnoloji enobuchule njenge-microgrids kunye neenkqubo zamandla ezisasaziweyo kukufumana ingqungquthela njengendlela yokuphucula ukomelela kwimisitho yemozulu egqithileyo. Umzekelo, uTesla, ubonakalise amandla ayo okuqaqambisa iipaneli zesolar kunye neenkqubo zokugcina ibhetri ukubonelela ngamandla engxamisekileyo kwiindawo ezinamacala athambileyo njengePuerto Rico.

"Sibona utshintsho lweparadigm kwindlela esisondela ngayo ukhuseleko lwamandla," yatsho ingcali yamandla. "Endaweni yokuthengisa kuphela kwiigridi zamandla eziphakathi, iinkqubo ezisasaziweyo njengemicrogrids kunye neemveliso eziphathwayo ziya zisibaluleka ngakumbi ekuqinisekiseni ukuba kunikezelwe amandla athembekileyo ngexesha likaxakeka."

Njengoko uPuerto Roo eqhubeka egcwele emva kwesaqhwithi, imfuno yabavelisi kunye neminye imithombo yamandla kunokwenzeka ukuba ihlale iphezulu kwiiveki ezizayo kunye neenyanga ezizayo. Ngoncedo lwetekhnoloji enobuchule kunye nokwazisa ngokukhulayo kokumalunga kwamandla, ilizwe lesiqithi linokulilungiselela ngakumbi indlela yemozulu.
