I tae mai ngā whakataunga a NESO mō te Gate 2 i roa e tumanakohia ana i te wiki kua taha ake nei, he tohu nui tēnei i roto i te haerenga whakahou hononga a te UK. Kua tautuhia te tau kua taha ake nei e te wawata ki te whakakore i te rārangi o ngā "kaupapa zombie" kua mutu, te whakatairanga i ngā kaupapa kua rite ki te hanga, me te whakateretere i te kaha whakahou e hiahiatia ana e Peretānia.
Ahakoa e whakamārama ana ngā whakataunga i te āhua o te rārangi mahi ā muri ake nei, e whakaatu ana hoki i ngā wero hanganga me aro wawe atu te umanga.
He rerekē te karere tuatahi mai i te Kūaha 2. Kua tohaina anō te kaha, kua whakaaetia te whakamahere, ā, kua tiakina te nuinga o ngā kaupapa i mua i te tau 2027, ā, kua tātarihia ngā tono whakapae kino rawa atu. Heoi anō, he maha ngā whakataunga kua ohorere te umanga, ā, kua ara ake ngā pātai nui mō te mea ka tino wetewetehia e ngā whakahoutanga, e whakatinanahia ana i tēnei wā, te tere o te whakatinanatanga.
I noho tahi mātou me tō mātou Upoko Hononga Whatunga, a Paul Munday, ki te matapaki i ngā hua, me te urupare tuatahi mai i te toenga o te umanga.
Kua mahue ngā kaupapa tohatoha i te makariri
Ko te putanga tautohenga rawa pea ko te korenga o te ahunga whakamua mō ngā kaupapa e hono ana ki te tohatoha. Ko te tumanako i te tīmatanga o te Keti 2 ko ngā kaupapa tohatoha kua rite ki te koko ka tere ake ki te Wāhanga 1, ki te taea te kaha. He mārama rawa he iti rawa ngā kaupapa hononga Tohatoha ka tere ake te rā hononga.
He tino mārama te tikanga. Ko te kaha 'kāore i whakamahia' i roto i te ipu Wāhanga 1 te āhua nei kua tohaina tata katoa ki ngā kaupapa e hono ana ki te tuku hiko, ehara i te tohatoha. Kāore tēnei i te whānuitia te whakapuakitanga, kāore hoki i te tumanakohia. Ko te tirohanga whānui, whai muri i ēnei hua, ko te kore e taea e ngā TO (Ngā Rangatira Tuku Hiko) me ngā DNO te hanga i te kaha e hiahiatia ana hei whakatutuki i ēnei kaupapa tohatoha, i roto rānei i te wā e hiahiatia ana hei whakatairanga i a rātou.
I te tīmatanga o te wiki, i tū he hui whakawhitiwhiti kōrero a Solar Energy UK, ā, i tae atu ngā māngai maha o ngā kamupene pūngao hou puta noa i te motu. He tokomaha i pātai i te pātai kotahi: he aha i whakaarohia ai te "whakamua" hei huarahi whai tikanga mō te tohatoha ina he mea kāore e taea te mahi i ngā herenga taumata whatunga?
Hei tāpiri atu ki tēnei katoa, he āwangawanga hanganga hohonu ake anō hoki. He maha ngā kaikōrero kua tohu ki te "iti o te tuku" o te BESS me te PV, tata ki te 7 GW, i runga i te nui o ngā kaupapa kua whakaarohia kua rite mō te hononga, ki te whakaritea ki ngā whāinga Clean Power 2030 e matapaetia ana.
Heoi, mēnā kāore i tutuki te 7 GW o te kaha tohatoha e tumanakohia ana mō te Wāhanga 1, ā, mēnā i aukatihia e ngā here tuku te pikinga o te hiko, i mimitihia rānei tēnei kaha e ngā kaupapa tuku hiko mō ake tonu atu?
Me mātua mārama te mākete ki ngā NESO me ngā DNO, nā te mea he pānga tēnei hua o te whakahoutanga ki te whanaketanga whatunga ā-rohe me te whakamahere haumitanga mō ngā tau e haere ake nei.
Te rokiroki pākahiko: te tiakitanga hei whakamātautau pea i te mākete
I toa, i hinga hoki ngā whanaketanga rokiroki pākahiko. He nui ake ngā kaupapa BESS i tiakina i te mea i whakaarohia e te tauira a NESO. Ko te tapeke BESS kua tiakina inaianei kei te 62 GW te teitei ake i te whakaritenga a NESO i tautuhia e te Mahere Mahi Mana Ma. Nā te tikanga tiaki i whakatairanga i te mana whakamahere i te hiahia pūnaha, ā, i hua ake he nui rawa te kaha rokiroki kua whakaritea mō te wā poto.
Ka hangaia he ao arumoni hou e tēnei. Kāore te tiaki hononga i te whāinga matua; ko te whakakaha me te hopu moni te mea e whakatau ana i te whakataetae. I te pikinga ake o te mōrearea kikī, me tere te neke o ngā kaupapa BESS kua tukuna ki ngā tūranga Gate 2 ki te hanga me te whakatūnga i mua i te whakahekenga o ā rātou take pakihi nā te whakawhāititanga o ngā tawhē.
Kua neke te rārangi mutunga mai i te whiwhi tono hononga ki te noho tuatahi ki te whiti i te paepae whakakaha.
Ka noho tonu nga patai
I te hui a Solar Energy UK i tata nei, i tino tupato te whakapono o ngā mema ki te tukanga whakahou. I kōrero ngā kaiwhakawhanake mō ngā kōrero kāore i te ōrite, ngā rā kati kua neke, me ngā whakamaoritanga rerekē o te tikanga.
Kei te kore tonu te māramatanga mō te whakahaere i ngā kaupapa mēnā ka whakakahoretia ngā tono, te āhua o te whakahaere i ngā kaupapa kua heke te uara, me te nui haere o te kaha kua tohaina ki roto i te rarangi.
He maha ngā pātai matua kāore anō kia whakautua:
- Tērā pea ka puta te whanaketanga, kāore rānei e taea te whakatutuki i raro i ngā herenga whatunga o nāianei?
- Me pēhea te whakahaere a NESO i te hekenga o ngā kaupapa whai hua i te Wāhanga 1 kia kore ai e ngaro?
- Ka whakamanahia rānei ngā toronga o ngā tohu nui, i te mea nā te Kūaha 2 tonu i whakaroa te whiwhinga o ngā tuku mō te tau kotahi?
- Me pēhea te mahi tahi a ngā DNO me ngā TO me NESO kia mārama ai te wātea me te whakaiti i ngā ratonga ā-rohe?
- I te mea kāore anō kia whakatuwheratia te matapihi Kēti 2 e whai ake nei i mua i te Paenga-whāwhā 2026, kei te anga atu te mākete ki tētahi tauira pupuri mō ngā tau e rua?
Ko te pūtake o ēnei katoa ko te pātai māmā: He aha ngā mea kua whakapūmautia e te Kūaha 2?
Kei te mau tonu te mōrearea tūturu kei kore e angitu te nuinga o ngā kaupapa Wāhanga 1 nā te mea he aukati whakamahere, he herenga mekameka tuku, he herenga pūtea rānei. Hei pupuri i te tere o te mahi, me whakahaere wawe e ngā kaiwhakahaere whatunga te hekenga me te tango i ngā arai ka aukati i te ahunga whakamua i tēnei wā tino nui.
Kua tīmata te whakataetae: mā te tukunga e tohu ngā toa
I te mea kua mōhiotia ngā hua o te hononga, kua uru te mākete ki tētahi wā uaua o te whakakotahitanga arumoni. Tērā pea ka rapu ngā kaitākaro nui ki te hoko kaupapa me ngā putea mai i ngā kaiwhakawhanake iti ake kua whiwhi tūranga engari kāore pea i a rātou te pepa toenga, te kaha EPC, te kaha mekameka tuku rānei hei whakatutuki wawe i te whakakaha. He tūturu te mōrearea o te toronga nui rawa, ā, ko te wātaka ki te 2026/27 ka nui ake te taumahatanga ki tētahi mekameka tuku kua totoro kē.
Mena i whakamāramahia e te Gate 2 tetahi mea, koinei tēnei: ko te whakarite i tētahi hononga tiakina he tīmatanga noa iho. Ko ngā kaupapa ka angitu ko ērā ka taea te hanga, te whakahaere, me te whakakaha tere. I te pikinga ake o te taumahatanga o te mekameka tuku me te whakawhāititanga o ngā wā whakaoti, ka noho ko te kaha tuku hei taonga tino nui o te umanga.
Koinei te wā e tino hira ai te kimi i ngā hoa tuku tika. Ethical PowerMā te whakakotahitanga o te tohungatanga whakahaere rawa me te whakaurunga poutū, ka taea e mātou te āwhina i ngā kaiwhakawhanake me ngā kaipupuri rawa kia tere te neke mai i te "tiaki" ki te "mahi pai".
I te mea he maha ā mātou kaupapa e ahu whakamua ana i te Kūaha 2, me te 15 tau o te wheako ki te whakarato i ngā hanganga matatini o te pūngao rā me te BESS, e tino mārama ana mātou ki ngā mea e hiahiatia ana hei whakatutuki i ngā wā kati mō te whakapūngao me te pupuri i te uara arumoni.
Kua whakahoutia te paipa whakaputanga hiko o te UK. E kore te upoko e whai ake nei e tautuhia e te tangata i whiwhi i te putanga Gate 2, engari e te tangata ka taea te hanga me te hono atu i te wā tika. Kei te tere haere te karaka mō te rāngai katoa. Mō te hunga kua rite ki te neke, koinei te wā tika ki te hono atu i ngā hoa mahi me te kaha me te kaha ki te whakatutuki i ngā mahi.
