TNō nā tata nei te kāwanatanga o Ahitereiria i whakarewa ai i tētahi hui whakawhitiwhiti kōrero tūmatanui mō te mahere haumitanga kaha. E matapaetia ana e te umanga rangahau ka hurihia e te mahere ngā ture o te kēmu mō te whakatairanga i te pūngao ma i Ahitereiria.
I te mutunga o Ākuhata o tēnei tau, i tukuna ngā whakaaro o ngā kaiwhakautu ki te mahere, e whakarato ana i ngā taurangi moni whiwhi mō te whakaputanga pūngao hou ka taea te tuku. I whakaahuahia e te Minita Pūngao o Ahitereiria, a Chris Bowen, te mahere hei whāinga whakatinanatanga rokiroki pūngao "de facto", nā te mea e hiahiatia ana ngā pūnaha rokiroki hei whakahohe i te whakaputanga pūngao hou ka taea te tuku.
Kua whakaputahia e te Tari Huringa Āhuarangi, Pūngao, Taiao me te Wai o Ahitereiria tētahi tuhinga whakawhitiwhiti kōrero ā-iwi e whakaatu ana i te huarahi me te hoahoa kua whakaritea mō te mahere, ā, i muri mai ka whakawhitiwhiti kōrero.
Ko te whāinga a te kāwanatanga he whakatinana i te neke atu i te 6GW o ngā whakaurunga whakaputa hiko ma mā roto i te kaupapa, e matapaetia ana ka kawea mai e tēnei kaupapa he A$10 piriona ($6.58 piriona) i roto i te haumitanga ki te rāngai hiko i te tau 2030.
I ahu mai te tatauranga i te whakatauira a te Kaiwhakahaere Mākete Pūngao o Ahitereiria (AEMO). Heoi, ka whakahaerehia te kaupapa i te taumata kāwanatanga, ā, ka whakatikatikaina kia rite ki ngā hiahia tuturu o ia wāhi i roto i te whatunga pūngao.
Ahakoa te hui a ngā minita pūngao ā-motu me ā-rohe o Ahitereiria i te marama o Tīhema, ā, i whakaae rātou ki te whakarewa i te kaupapa.
I te tīmatanga o tēnei tau, i kī a Tākuta Bruce Mountain, he tohunga ōhanga pūngao i te Victorian Energy Policy Center (VEPC), ko te kāwanatanga ā-motu o Ahitereiria te kawenga matua mō te tirotiro me te whakarite i te kaupapa, ko te whakatinanatanga me te nuinga o ngā whakataunga matua ka mahia i te taumata ā-rohe.
I roto i ngā tau kua pahure ake nei, ko te whakahoutanga hoahoa mākete o te Mākete Hiko ā-Motu o Ahitereiria (NEM) he tautohetohe hangarau roa i arahina e te kaiwhakahaere, i te mea i whakaurua e te kaiwhakahaere ngā whare whakaputa hiko waro, ngā whare whakaputa hiko hau rānei ki roto i te tono hoahoa, e ai ki a Mountain. Kua tae te tautohetohe ki tētahi ara kore e mutu.
Ko te kōrero matua ko te tango i te whakaputanga waro me te hau māori i roto i te mahere.
Ko tētahi wāhanga o te kāwanatanga o Ahitereiria he mahi āhuarangi me te pūngao ma, ko te minita pūngao o Ahitereiria te kawenga mō tēnā, ā, e whai ana hoki ki te whakarite whakaaetanga me ngā minita pūngao o te kāwanatanga, ko rātou nei te kawenga ā-ture mō te whakahaere i te tuku hiko.
I te mutunga o te tau kua hipa, e ai ki a Mountain, nā tēnei i ārahi ki te panuitanga o te Kaupapa Pūtea Whakangao hei tikanga me ngā taipitopito taketake o te kore e whakauru i te whakaputanga waro me te hau ki roto i ngā utu i raro i te kaupapa.
I whakaū te Minita Pūngao, a Chris Bowen, ka whakarewahia te kaupapa i tēnei tau, whai muri i te tukunga o te tahua ā-motu a Ahitereiria i te marama o Mei.
E matapaetia ana ka whakatinanahia te wāhanga tuatahi o te kaupapa i tēnei tau, ka tīmata me ngā tono tuku i Te Tonga o Ahitereiria me Wikitōria, me tētahi tono tuku i New South Wales e whakahaerehia ana e te Kaiwhakahaere Mākete Pūngao o Ahitereiria (AEMO).
E ai ki te pepa kōrero, ka whakatinanahia mārire te kaupapa i waenga i te tau 2023 me te tau 2027 hei āwhina i a Ahitereiria ki te whakatutuki i ngā hiahia pono o te pūnaha hiko i te tau 2030. Ka arotakehia anō e te Kāwanatanga o Ahitereiria te hiahia mō ētahi atu tono tuku hiko i tua atu i te tau 2027 mēnā e tika ana.
Ka āhei ngā kaupapa ratonga tūmatanui, tūmataiti rānei e oti ana te pūtea i muri i te 8 o Hakihea, 2022 ki te whiwhi pūtea.
Ko ngā rahinga e tonoa ana e ia rohe ka whakatauhia e te tauira hiahia pono mō ia rohe, ā, ka whakamaoritia hei rahinga tono. Heoi, kāore anō kia whakatauhia ētahi tawhā hoahoa, pērā i te roanga iti rawa o ngā hangarau rokiroki pūngao, me pēhea te whakataurite i ngā hangarau rokiroki pūngao rerekē i roto i te aromatawai tono, me pēhea te whanake o ngā tono Pūtea Whakangao (CIS) i roto i te wā.
Kua tīmata kē ngā tono mō te Mahere Hanganga Hiko o NSW, ā, kua nui rawa ngā tono mō ngā whakaurunga whakaputa hiko, me te 3.1GW o ngā tono i whakaritea mō te 950MW. I taua wā anō, i tae mai ngā tono mō te 1.6GW o ngā pūnaha rokiroki pūngao roa, neke atu i te rua o te whāinga tono o te 550MW.
Hei tāpiritanga, e matapaetia ana ka pānuitia ngā whakaritenga tuku tono mō Te Tonga o Ahitereiria me Wikitōria i te marama o Oketopa o tēnei tau.
