Woodside Energy irateganya gukoresha sisitemu yo kubika batiri 400MWh mu burengerazuba bwa Ositaraliya

Iterambere ry’ingufu za Ositaraliya Woodside Energy ryashyikirije ikigo gishinzwe kurengera ibidukikije mu Burengerazuba bwa Ositaraliya icyifuzo cyo kohereza 500MW y’izuba. Isosiyete irizera gukoresha amashanyarazi akomoka ku mirasire y'izuba mu guha ingufu abakiriya b’inganda muri Leta, harimo n’ikigo gikora uruganda rukora Pluto LNG.
Isosiyete yavuze muri Gicurasi 2021 ko iteganya kubaka ikigo cy’amashanyarazi akomoka ku mirasire y'izuba hafi ya Karratha mu majyaruguru y'uburengerazuba bwa Ositaraliya, no guha ingufu uruganda rukora Pluto LNG.
Mu nyandiko ziherutse gusohoka n’ikigo cy’iburengerazuba cya Ositaraliya gishinzwe kurengera ibidukikije (WAEPA), dushobora kwemeza ko intego ya Woodside Energy ari ukubaka ikigo cy’amashanyarazi akomoka ku mirasire y’izuba 500MW, kizaba kirimo na sisitemu yo kubika batiri 400MWh.
Icyifuzo kigira kiti: “Woodside Energy irasaba kubaka no gukoresha iki kigo cy’izuba hamwe n’ububiko bwa batiri mu gace ka Maitland Strategic Industrial Area gaherereye nko mu birometero 15 mu majyepfo y’iburengerazuba bwa Karratha mu karere ka Pilbara gaherereye mu burengerazuba bwa Ositaraliya.”
Umushinga w'izuba-wongeyeho-kubika uzashyirwa hejuru ya hegitari 1,100.3. Imirasire y'izuba igera kuri miliyoni imwe izashyirwa ku kigo cy’amashanyarazi akomoka ku mirasire y'izuba, hamwe n'ibikorwa remezo bifasha nka sisitemu yo kubika ingufu za batiri ndetse na sitasiyo.

Ingufu za Woodside zavuzeingufu z'izubaikigo kizatanga amashanyarazi kubakiriya binyuze muri Northwest Interconnection Sisitemu (NWIS), ifitwe kandi ikoreshwa na Horizon Power.
Kubaka umushinga bizakorwa mubyiciro ku gipimo cya 100MW, biteganijwe ko kubaka buri cyiciro bizatwara amezi atandatu kugeza icyenda. Mugihe buri cyiciro cyubwubatsi kizavamo toni 212.000 zangiza imyuka ya CO2, ingufu zicyatsi kibisi muri NWIS zirashobora kugabanya imyuka ya karuboni y’abakiriya binganda hafi toni 100.000 kumwaka.
Nk’uko ikinyamakuru Sydney Morning Herald kibitangaza ngo amashusho arenga miliyoni yakozwe mu bitare byo mu gace ka Burrup. Aka gace kashyizwe ku rutonde rw’umurage w’isi kubera impungenge z’uko umwanda uhumanya inganda ushobora kwangiza ibihangano. Ibikorwa by'inganda muri kariya gace kandi birimo uruganda rwa Pluto LNG rwa Woodside Energy, amoniya ya Yara hamwe n’ibiturika, hamwe n’icyambu cya Dampier, aho Rio Tinto yohereza amabuye y'icyuma.
Ikigo cy’iburengerazuba bwa Ositaraliya gishinzwe kurengera ibidukikije (WAEPA) ubu kirimo gusuzuma iki cyifuzo kandi gitanga igihe cy’iminsi irindwi cyo gutanga ibitekerezo ku baturage, aho Woodside Energy yizeye ko izatangira kubaka kuri uyu mushinga mu mpera zuyu mwaka.
