Zomwe zangotulutsidwa kumenendi Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) imati magwero a mphamvu zongowonjezwdwa (dzuwa, mphepo, biomass, geothermal, hydropower) amalamulira zowonjezera mphamvu zamagetsi zaku US mu theka loyamba la 2020, malinga ndi kusanthula kwa SUN DAY Campaign.
Kuphatikiza, adawerengera 57.14% kapena 7,859 MW ya 13,753 MW ya mphamvu zatsopano zomwe zidawonjezeredwa theka loyamba la 2020.
Lipoti laposachedwa la mwezi uliwonse la "Energy Infrastructure Update" la FERC (lomwe lili ndi zambiri mpaka pa Juni 30, 2020) likuwonetsanso kuti gasi wachilengedwe ndi 42.67% (5,869 MW) wa onse, ndi zopereka zazing'ono ndi malasha (20 MW) ndi magwero "ena" (5 MW) omwe amapereka ndalama zonse. Sipanakhalepo zowonjezera mphamvu zatsopano ndi mafuta, mphamvu za nyukiliya kapena mphamvu ya geothermal kuyambira kumayambiriro kwa chaka.
Mwa 1,013 MW ya mphamvu zatsopano zopangira zomwe zawonjezeredwa mu June wokha zidaperekedwa ndi sola (609 MW), mphepo (380 MW) ndi mphamvu yamadzi (24 MW). Izi zikuphatikiza 300-MW Prospero Solar Project ku Andrews County, Texas ndi 121.9-MW Wagyu Solar Project ku Brazoria County.
Magwero a mphamvu zongowonjezwdwanso tsopano ali ndi 23.04% ya mphamvu zonse zopangira zomwe zakhazikitsidwa mdziko muno ndipo akupitiliza kukulitsa kutsogolera kwawo kuposa malasha (20.19%). Kuthekera kopanga kwamphepo ndi dzuwa tsopano kuli pa 13.08% ya chiwopsezo chonse cha dzikolo ndipo siziphatikizanso ma sola ogawidwa (padenga).
Zaka zisanu zapitazo, FERC inanena kuti mphamvu zonse zopangira mphamvu zowonjezedwanso zinali 17.27% za dziko lonse ndi mphepo pa 5.84% (tsopano 9.13%) ndi dzuwa pa 1.08% (tsopano 3.95%). Pazaka zisanu zapitazi, gawo la mphepo pa mphamvu zopangira dziko lakula ndi pafupifupi 60% pomwe la solar tsopano likukulirapo kanayi.
Poyerekeza, mu June 2015, gawo la malasha linali 26.83% (tsopano 20.19%), nyukiliya inali 9.2% (tsopano 8.68%) ndipo mafuta anali 3.87% (tsopano 3.29%). Mpweya wachilengedwe wawonetsa kukula kulikonse pakati pa zinthu zosasinthika, kukulitsa pang'onopang'ono kuchokera ku gawo la 42.66% zaka zisanu zapitazo mpaka 44,63%.
Kuonjezera apo, deta ya FERC imasonyeza kuti gawo lopangira mphamvu zowonjezera likuyembekezeka kuwonjezeka kwambiri pazaka zitatu zikubwerazi, pofika June 2023. "Kuthekera kwakukulu" kuwonjezereka kwa mphamvu zowonjezera mphepo, kuchotserapo zoyembekezeredwa zopuma pantchito, zikuwonetsa kuwonjezeka kwa 27,226 MW pamene dzuwa likuyembekezeredwa kukula ndi 26,748 MW.
Poyerekeza, kukula kwa gasi kudzakhala 19,897 MW yokha. Chifukwa chake, mphepo ndi dzuŵa zikuloseredwa kuti chilichonse chimapereka mphamvu zatsopano zopangira gawo limodzi mwa magawo atatu kuposa gasi wachilengedwe pazaka zitatu zikubwerazi.
Ngakhale mphamvu yamadzi, geothermal, ndi biomass zonse zikuyembekezeka kukula (2,056 MW, 178 MW, ndi 113 MW motsatira), mphamvu yopangira malasha ndi mafuta ikuyembekezeka kutsika, ndi 22,398 MW ndi 4,359 MW motsatana. FERC ikunena kuti palibe malasha atsopano paipi pazaka zitatu zikubwerazi komanso 4 MW yokha ya mphamvu yatsopano yotengera mafuta. Mphamvu ya nyukiliya ikuyembekezeka kukhala yosasinthika, ndikuwonjezera ukonde wa 2 MW.
Pazonse, kusakanikirana kwa zongowonjezeranso kudzawonjezera kupitilira 56.3 GW ya mphamvu zatsopano zopangira dziko lonse pofika Juni 2023 pomwe mphamvu zatsopano zomwe zikuyembekezeka kuwonjezeredwa ndi gasi, malasha, mafuta ndi mphamvu ya nyukiliya zikaphatikizidwa zidzatsika ndi 6.9 GW.
Ngati ziwerengerozi zikugwirabe, m'zaka zitatu zikubwerazi, mphamvu zopangira mphamvu zongowonjezwwdwza ziyenera kupitilira gawo limodzi mwa magawo anayi a mphamvu zonse zopangira magetsi zomwe zidakhazikitsidwa mdziko muno.
Magawo owonjezera akhoza kukhala apamwamba kwambiri. Kwa chaka chimodzi ndi theka zapitazi, FERC yakhala ikuwonjezera nthawi zonse zowonetsera mphamvu zowonjezera zowonjezera m'malipoti ake a mwezi uliwonse a "Infrastructure". Mwachitsanzo, miyezi isanu ndi umodzi yapitayo mu lipoti lake la Disembala 2019, FERC idaneneratu za kukula kwazaka zitatu zikubwerazi za 48,254 MW pamagwero amagetsi ongowonjezedwanso, 8,067 MW kuchepera poyerekeza ndi zomwe zangomaliza kumene.
"Ngakhale vuto la coronavirus lapadziko lonse lapansi lachepetsa kukula kwawo, zongowonjezera, makamaka mphepo ndi dzuwa, zikupitiliza kukulitsa gawo lawo pakupanga magetsi mdziko muno," atero a Ken Bossong, wamkulu wa SUN DAY Campaign. "Ndipo mitengo yamagetsi opangidwanso ndi mphamvu yosungiramo mphamvu ikatsika, kukula kumeneku kukuwoneka kuti kukukulirakulira."
