Hoʻolālā ʻo Maoneng e hoʻolalelale i nā papahana mālama ikehu pākahiko 400MW/1600MWh ma NSW

Ua noi aku ka mea hoʻomohala ikehu hou ʻo Maoneng i kahi kikowaena ikehu ma ka mokuʻāina ʻo Australian o New South Wales (NSW) e hoʻokomo pū ʻia me kahi mahiʻai lā 550MW a me 400MW/1,600MWh pūnaewele mālama pākaukau.
Hoʻolālā ka hui e waiho i kahi noi no ka Merriwa Energy Center me ka NSW Department of Planning, Industry and Environment. Ua ʻōlelo ka hui e manaʻo ana e hoʻopau ʻia ka papahana ma 2025 a e hoʻololi i ka 550MW Liddell mana ahi ahi e hana ana ma kahi kokoke.
ʻO ka mahiʻai lā i manaʻo ʻia e uhi i 780 mau ʻeka a me ka hoʻokomo ʻana o 1.3 miliona photovoltaic solar panels a me kahi ʻōnaehana mālama pākaukau 400MW/1,600MWh. He 18 mau mahina e hoʻopau ai ka papahana, a ʻoi aku ka nui o ka ʻōnaehana waiho ʻana o ka pākaukau ma mua o ka 300MW/450MWh Victorian Big Battery storage system, ʻo ka ʻōnaehana mālama pākaukau nui loa ma Australia, e hele mai ma ka pūnaewele i Dekemaba 2021. ʻEhā manawa.

Pono ka papahana Maoneng i ke kūkulu ʻia ʻana o kahi substation hou i hoʻopili pololei ʻia me ka National Electricity Market (NEM) o Australia ma o kahi laina hoʻouna 500kV kokoke i TransGrid. Ua ʻōlelo ka hui ʻo ka papahana, aia ma kahi kokoke i ke kūlanakauhale ʻo Meriva ma ka NSW Hunter Region, ua hoʻolālā ʻia e hoʻokō i ka lako o ka ikehu kūloko a me nā pono hoʻopaʻa paʻa o Australia's National Electricity Market (NEM).
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Maoneng ma kāna pūnaewele ua hoʻopau ka papahana i ka pae noiʻi a me ka hoʻolālā ʻana a ua komo i ke kaʻina hana koho, e ʻimi ana i nā ʻaelike e hoʻokō i ke kūkulu ʻana.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Morris Zhou, ka mea hoʻokumu a me ka Luna Nui o Maoneng: "I ka lilo ʻana o NSW i mea hiki ke hoʻomaʻemaʻe i ka ikehu, e kākoʻo kēia pāhana i ka ʻōnaehana mālama lā a me nā pākaukau nui o ke Aupuni NSW. Ua koho mākou i kēia pūnaewele ma muli o kona pili ʻana i ka mākia e kū nei, e hoʻohana pono ana i nā ʻōnaehana hana kūloko.
Ua loaʻa hou i ka hui ka ʻae ʻia e hoʻomohala i kahi ʻōnaehana mālama ikehu pākahiko 240MW/480MWh ma Victoria.
Aia ʻo Australia i kēia manawa ma kahi o 600MW opākaukaunā ʻōnaehana mālama, wahi a Ben Cerini, ka mea loiloi ma ka ʻaha kūkā o ka mākeke kūkākūkā hoʻokele Cornwall Insight Australia. ʻO kekahi ʻoihana noiʻi, ʻo Sunwiz, i ʻōlelo i kāna "2022 Battery Market Report" ʻo ka ʻoihana ʻoihana a me ka ʻoihana ʻo Australia (CYI) a me nā ʻōnaehana mālama pākaukau i hoʻopili ʻia i ka grid ma lalo o ke kūkulu ʻana he hiki ke mālama ʻia ma luna o 1GWh wale nō.
