Ethical Power E harikoa ana mātou ki te whakapuaki kua tukuna te whakaaetanga whakamahere mō te Cobham Road Solar Park, he kaupapa pūngao hiko solar tauine 49.5 MW kei te whenua ki te rawhiti o Cobham Road, Fetcham, Surrey.
I tukuna te whakatau e te Kaitirotiro Whakamahere a te Kāwanatanga, ā, whai muri i tētahi whakawakanga e rima rā te roa nā te Uiuitanga ā-Iwi. I whakakahoretia tuatahitia te tono whakamahere i te marama o Āperira 2025 i te komiti, i reira i whakakorehia ai e ngā Kaunihera ā-Rohe o Mole Valley te taunakitanga pai a ngā āpiha.
I whakaae te Kaitirotiro ki te take i tukuna e te tīma Pīra, he nui ngā painga o te kaupapa. E whakaatu ana tēnei whakataunga i te taumaha o te kaupapa here pūngao tauwhiro ā-motu i roto i te pūnaha whakamahere, me te whakakaha i te ahunga i whakatakotoria e te Mahere Mahi Mana Ma 2030 a te Kāwanatanga.
Kia tīmata te mahi, ka mahi te Pāka Rā o Cobham Road i ēnei mahi:
- Whakaputaina he 49.5 MW o te hiko ma, he nui hei whakakaha i te tata ki te 13,351 ngā kāinga i ia tau
- Ka penapena i te 6,221 tāne o te CO₂ ia tau, he rite ki te tango i te 1,256 waka mai i te rori.
- E 40 tau te roa o te mahi, ā, muri iho ka whakahokia te whenua ki te mahi ahuwhenua
- Tautokohia te whakamahinga tonu o te ahuwhenua i te wā e mahi ana mā te whāngai hipi i te papa mahi
- Whakatūria he Pūtea Āwhina Hapori hei tautoko i ngā kaupapa matua ā-rohe
Kei roto hoki i te kaupapa tētahi kete whānui o te kanorau koiora, tae atu ki:
- 78% te pikinga kupenga o te kanorau koiora i roto i ngā wāhanga noho, he nui rawa atu i te iti rawa o te 10% ā-motu me te whakaritenga ā-rohe o Mole Valley mō te 20%.
- 04% te pikinga kupenga i roto i ngā wāhanga taiepa rakau, e 2.6 kiromita te roa o ngā taiepa rakau hou e whai kiko ana ki ngā momo rākau taketake
- 124 eka o te whenua tarutaru momona i roto i ngā papa whenua kua whakatōkia
- Ngā āhuatanga noho mō ngā pekapeka, ngā manu, ngā amphibians, me ngā ngārara puta noa i te papaanga
Jeff Dummett, Tumuaki Whakawhanake i Ethical Power, ka mea:
"E harikoa ana mātou kua whiwhi tā mātou kaupapa i Cobham Road i te whakaaetanga whakamahere, te mutunga o ngā tau maha o te mahi uaua a ngā mema o te tīma mai i te whanaketanga, te hoahoa, te ture, te whatunga hiko me te maha atu. Nā te tīma piira i hoatu te whai wāhitanga pai rawa atu ki te Uiuitanga kia angitu, ā, me mihi nui me te whakamoemiti ki te hunga katoa i whakaputa taunakitanga, i ārahi rautaki, ā, i whakatutuki i te tūranga wero o te kaiwhakaatu tohunga.
Kua rite te kaupapa inaianei ki te whakatinana i tētahi hononga i mua i te tau 2030, i roto i tētahi rohe he iti rawa te whenua, ā, he iti noa ngā whai wāhitanga ki te whakatinana i ngā rauemi whakahou i te tauine e tika ana, me te kore rawa o ngā wāhi kē atu.”
