E rua ngā puna kāwanatanga i kōrero ki a Reuters mō te tata ki te 50% o ngā kaupapa toa i roto i te kaupapa hoko pūngao hou kua tīmata anō i Āwherika ki te Tonga kua pāngia e ngā uauatanga whanaketanga, ā, he wero tēnei ki te whakamahinga a te kāwanatanga i te mana hau me te mana photovoltaic hei whakatika i te raruraru hiko.
I kī te Perehitini o Āwherika ki te Tonga, a Cyril Ramaphosa, he maha ngā wā ka pakaru te tipu hiko waro tawhito o Eskom, ka pāngia ngā kainoho e te motuhanga hiko i ia rā, ka waiho a Āwherika ki te Tonga e te āputa i waenga i te 4GW ki te 6GW i roto i te kaha kua tāutahia.
Whai muri i te okiokinga mō ngā tau e ono, i whakahaere a Āwherika ki te Tonga i tētahi whakataetae tuku tono i te tau 2021 hei tono mō ngā whakaurunga hiko hau me ngā pūnaha photovoltaic, ā, neke atu i te 100 ngā kamupene me ngā rōpū whakahaere i kukume mai i te hiahia nui mai i tēnei kaupapa.
Ahakoa i te tīmatanga he pai te pānuitanga tono mō te tuarima o ngā rauna o te pūngao whakahou, i kī ngā āpiha kāwanatanga e rua e whai wāhi ana ki te kaupapa pūngao whakahou ko te haurua noa iho o te 2,583MW o te pūngao whakahou e tumanakohia ana ka hokohokohia ka tutuki pea.
E ai ki a rātou, i toa te rōpū Ikamva i ngā tono mō ngā kaupapa pūngao whakahou e 12 me ngā tono iti rawa, engari kei te pāngia rātou e ngā uauatanga kua aukati i te whanaketanga o te haurua o ngā kaupapa.
Kāore anō te Tari Pūngao o Āwherika ki te Tonga, e tirotiro ana i ngā tono tuku pūngao hou, i whakautu mai ki tētahi īmēra mai i a Reuters e tono ana kia tukuna he kōrero.
I whakamārama te rōpū Ikamva, ko ngā āhuatanga pēnei i te pikinga o ngā reiti huamoni, te pikinga o ngā utu pūngao me ngā utu hua, me ngā whakaroa i te hanga o ngā taputapu e pā ana i muri i te pakarutanga o te COVID-19 i pā ki ā rātou tumanakohanga, ā, i hua ake ai te pikinga o ngā utu mō ngā whakaurunga pūngao whakahou i tua atu i te utu o ngā tono tuku iho o te Rauna 5.
O ngā kaupapa pūngao whakahou e 25 katoa kua tukuna ngā tono, e iwa noa iho kua puteahia nā runga i ngā arai putea e pā ana ki ētahi kamupene.
Ko te rā kati pūtea mō ngā kaupapa Engie me Mulilo ko te 30 o Hepetema, ā, ko te tumanako a ngā āpiha kāwanatanga o Āwherika ki te Tonga ka whiwhi ngā kaupapa i te pūtea hanga e tika ana.
I kī te rōpū Ikamva kua rite ētahi o ngā kaupapa a te kamupene, ā, kei te kōrero tahi rātou me te kāwanatanga o Āwherika ki te Tonga kia kitea he huarahi whakamua.
Kua noho te korenga o te kaha tuku hiko hei aukati nui ki ngā mahi a Āwherika ki te Tonga ki te whakatika i te raruraru pūngao, i te mea e tautoko ana ngā kaipupuri moni tūmataiti i ngā kaupapa e aro ana ki te whakapiki i te whakaputanga hiko. Heoi, kāore anō kia whakatauhia e te rōpū ngā pātai mō te kaha tuku hiko e tumanakohia ana kua tohaina ki āna kaupapa.
