Amadolobha amaningana esifundazweni saseShayina esiseningizimu iGuangdong, okuyisikhungo esikhulu sokukhiqiza, acele imboni ukuthi inciphise ukusetshenziswa kukagesi ngokumisa ukusebenza amahora noma ngisho nezinsuku njengoba ukusetshenziswa kakhulu kwefektri kuhlangene nesimo sezulu esishisayo kucindezela uhlelo lukagesi lwesifunda.

Imikhawulo yamandla iyisithiyo esiphindwe kabili kubakhiqizi asebephoqelekile ukwehlisa umkhiqizo ngenxa yokwanda kwamanani ezinto zokusetshenziswa okubalwa insimbi, i-aluminium, ingilazi kanye nephepha muva nje.

IGuangdong, inkampani enamandla kwezomnotho nakwezokuthumela kwamanye amazwe enomkhiqizo wasekhaya waminyaka yonke olingana neNingizimu Korea, ibone ukusetshenziswa kwayo kukagesi kukhuphuka ngo-22.6% ngo-Ephreli kusuka emazingeni athinteke yi-COVID-19 ngo-2020, kanye no-7.6% kusukela esikhathini esifanayo ngo-2019.

"Ngenxa yokusheshisa ukuqala kabusha kwemisebenzi yezomnotho kanye namazinga okushisa aphezulu aqhubekayo, ukusetshenziswa kukagesi kuye kwanda," kusho ihhovisi lezamandla lesifundazwe saseGuangdong ngesonto eledlule, lengeza ngokuthi amazinga okushisa ajwayelekile ngoMeyi ayengama-degree Celsius angu-4 ngaphezu kokuvamile, okwandisa isidingo se-air conditioner.

Ezinye izinkampani zamandla kagesi zasendaweni emadolobheni afana neGuangzhou, Foshan, Dongguan kanye neShantou zikhiphe izaziso ezinxusa abasebenzisi bamafektri esifundeni ukuba bamise ukukhiqiza ngesikhathi samahora aphezulu, phakathi kuka-7 ekuseni no-11 ebusuku, noma bavale izinsuku ezimbili kuya kwezintathu isonto ngalinye kuye ngesimo sokufunwa kukagesi, ngokusho kwabasebenzisi bamandla abahlanu kanye nemibiko yabezindaba bendawo.

Umphathi enkampanini yemikhiqizo kagesi eseDongguan uthe kuzodingeka bafune abanye abahlinzeki ngaphandle kwesifunda njengoba izimboni zendawo ziceliwe ukuthi zinciphise umkhiqizo ube yizinsuku ezine ngesonto kusukela ezinsukwini eziyisikhombisa ezijwayelekile.

Amanani kagesi athengiswa eGuangdong Power Exchange Centre afinyelele ku-1,500 yuan ($234.89) ngehora le-megawatt ngoMeyi 17, okungaphezu kokuphindwe kathathu kwentengo kagesi osebenzisa amalahle omhlaba ebekwe uhulumeni.

Ihhovisi likagesi laseGuangdong lithe lisebenzisana nezifunda ezingomakhelwane ukuze lilethe ugesi owengeziwe esifundazweni, ngenkathi liqinisekisa ukuthi amalahle kanye negesi yemvelo zihlala zitholakala ezitshalweni zalo zamandla okushisa, ezibangela ngaphezu kuka-70% wokukhiqizwa kukagesi okuphelele.

Umhlinzeki omkhulu wamandla wangaphandle eGuangzhou, esifundazweni saseYunnan, ubelokhu ehlushwa ukuntuleka kwamandla kagesi ngemuva kwezinyanga zesomiso esingavamile esanciphisa ukukhiqizwa kukagesi ngamanzi, okuwumthombo oyinhloko kagesi.

Isizini yemvula eningizimu yeShayina yaqala ngo-Ephreli 26, ezinsukwini ezingama-20 kamuva kunokujwayelekile, ngokusho kwezindaba zikahulumeni i-Xinhua News, okwaholela ekwehleni okungu-11% kokukhiqizwa kukagesi ngamanzi eYunnan ngenyanga edlule kusuka emazingeni angaphambi kwe-COVID ngo-2019.

Eminye imishini yokuncibilikisa i-aluminium ne-zinc eYunnan ivaliwe okwesikhashana ngenxa yokushoda kukagesi.

IGuangdong neYunnan ziphakathi kwezifunda ezinhlanu eziphethwe yiChina Southern Power Grid (CNPOW.UL), inkampani yesibili ngobukhulu eShayina elandela iState Grid (STGRD.UL) ephethe u-75% wenethiwekhi yezwe.

Izinhlelo ezimbili zegridi okwamanje zixhunywe ngomugqa owodwa wokudlulisa, i-Three-Gorges ne-Guangdong. Omunye umugqa wegridi owela ngaphesheya, kusukela eFujian kuya eGuangdong, usakhiwa futhi kulindeleke ukuthi uqale ukusebenza ngo-2022.
