Ngā Huarahi Haumi mō te Kaha Whakahou i ngā Moutere o Te Moana-nui-a-Kiwa, mai i te Pūrongo 2025 a WEC Energy Group

Kupu Whakataki

I te tīmatanga o te tau 2025, i whakaputa te kamupene hiko matua o te Hauāuru Waenga o Amerika, a WEC Energy Group, i tana Pūrongo Kawenga Rangatōpū 2025, e whakaatu ana i ngā whāinga rautaki me ngā huanga whakatinanatanga o te kamupene i roto i te whakawhitinga pūngao. He titiro noa tēnei pūrongo ki ngā miriona o ngā kaihoko i Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota me Illinois o Amerika, engari ki te whakanoho tātou i a ia i roto i te anga matawhenua tōrangapū o te pūngao o te ao, ka puta mai ētahi tohu tino whai hua mō ngā ōhanga o Ōhia – inarā, mō ngā moutere o Te Moana-nui-a-Kiwa.

Kei te rongo ngā whenua moutere o Te Moana-nui-a-Kiwa i tētahi raruraru hanganga: i tētahi taha, me urutau rātou ki te panoni āhuarangi, me whakaiti hoki i te whakawhirinaki ki ngā kora parapara kawemai; i tētahi taha, nā te iti me te mokemoke o ngā whatunga hiko, he tino uaua te hono atu i te kaha whakahou ki aua whatunga, ahakoa i te taha hangarau, i te taha pūtea hoki. Ko te pūrongo a WEC tētahi tauira e whakaatu ana me pēhea te whakatau i ēnei raruraru e tētahi mākete pakari.

Kāore tēnei tuhinga e whakaaro ana ki te kōrerohia ngā taipitopito katoa o te pūrongo, engari ka kohia ngā aronga haumi matua, ka tirotiro mēnā ka kitea ētahi wāhi whakamahinga mō ēnei aronga ki Ahitereiria, ki Aotearoa, ki ngā moutere o Te Moana-nui-a-Kiwa, me te arotake i ngā pānga o te rohe mō te wā roa.

WEC Energy Group: He Tauira Whakawhitinga nō te Hauāuru Waenga o Amerika

Ko WEC Energy Group tētahi kamupene whakahaere pūngao e noho ana i Milwaukee, e whakarato ana i te hiko me te hau māori ki tata ki te 4.7 miriona kaihoko i te Hauāuru Waenga o Amerika. E ai te pūrongo o te tau 2025, ko te kaha whakauru katoa o te kamupene he 11,029 megawatts, ā, ko te kaha whakahou (mai i te hau, te hihirā, me te wai) e 4,141 megawatts (tae atu ki te kamupene āpiti kāore i raro i te whakahaere ture, a WEC Infrastructure). He mea nui, i tua atu i ngā hiko wai nui, ko te whakaputanga hiko kore waro (tae atu ki te hiko karihi) i te tau 2025 he 18,980 gigawatt-haora, tata ki te 40% o te katoa o te whakaputanga hiko a te kamupene.

Ko te mea tino mīharo ake ko tāna mahere haumi mō ngā tau e rima e heke mai ana: i waenga i te tau 2026 ki 2030, e whakamahere ana a WEC ki te whakapau i te $12.6 piriona (USD) ki ngā kaupapa kaha whakahou me te rokiroki pūngao, kia tāpirihia atu tata ki te 6,500 megawatts o te kaha whakauru; i te wā e $6.1 piriona ana te haumi ki te whakapai ake i ngā whare hiko hau, kia piki ai te 3,600 megawatts o te kaha ki te whakatutuki i ngā wā tino nui o te hiahia. E whakaatu ana tēnei rautaki haumi "ara rua" i te mea, ahakoa he kamupene tautoko i te whakawhitinga ki te pūngao mā, e whakaae ana anō, kei te pūngao hau tonu te tūranga matua ki te whakataurite i ngā rerekētanga o te kaha whakahou i roto i te wā e kitea ana. I tua atu, kua kohia e WEC he pūtea mā te whakaputa here pūtea kākāriki (green bonds), ā, i te tau 2025 kua tautoko i te $940 miriana o ngā whakapaunga hanga motuhake.

I roto i te pūrongo a WEC, ka kite hoki tātou i ētahi āhuatanga ehara i te mea pūtea: ngā tohu haumaru kaimahi, ngā kaupapa whai wāhi a te hapori, me ngā kupu taurangi ki te whakaora taiao o ngā maina waro kua whakamutatia. E whakaatu ana ēnei i te tauritenga o te "kawenga pāpori" me te "hua arumoni" i roto i te kāwanatanga umanga.

Ngā Raruraru me ngā Āheinga Pūngao o ngā Moutere o Te Moana-nui-a-KiwaHeoi anō, he tino rerekē te hanganga pūngao o te rohe moutere o Te Moana-nui-a-Kiwa (ngā kāhui motu o Poronīhia, Meranīhia me Mihironīhia). Ko te nuinga o ngā whenua moutere, he iti noa iho, he mokemoke hoki ngā pūnaha hiko, ā, tino whakawhirinaki ngā kainoho ki te hiko diesel, ā, ko te utu whakaputa hiko e toru ki te whā whakareanga ake i tō ngā whenua whakawhanake. Hei tauira, ko Fītī, Hāmoa me Vanuatu e whai ana kia neke ake te ōwehenga o te hiko whakahoutanga ki te 70 ōrau neke atu i te tau 2030, engari nā te kore pūtea me te kore kaimahi tohunga i aukati ai te ahu whakamua.

Heoi anō, he tino pai rawa atu ngā āhuatanga taiao o te rohe o Te Moana-nui-a-Kiwa mō te whakawhanake pūngao whakahou. Ko ētahi o ngā rohe tino kaha rawa atu o te ao mō te kaha o te rā kei ngā whenua moutere e tata ana ki te rārangi ekueta; kei Vanuatu, ngā Moutere o Horomona me Papua Nūkini ngā rawa wera-ā-papa; he pūmanawa anō hoki te hiko hau ki Tonga me Fītī. Ko te tino aukati ehara i te whai rawa taiao, engari ko te kaha pūnaha mō te pūtea kaupapa, te tiaki mō te wā roa, me te whakahaere whatunga hiko.Ko te pūrongo a WEC i āta kōrero mō te taunekeneke ki ngā hapori taketake, tae atu ki ngā kaupapa āwhina pūngao me te mahi tahi me ngā iwi taketake o Amerika. I roto i ngā ahurea tuku iho o ngā moutere o Te Moana-nui-a-Kiwa, ko ngā whakatau a ngā kaipupuri whenua me ngā kaumātua he mana ture mō ngā kaupapa. Ko te whakakotahi i ngā mahi a WEC mō te "whakawhitiwhiti whakaaro ā-hapori whakauru" me te "tikanga whenua tuku iho" o Te Moana-nui-a-Kiwa, tērā pea he take kaiārahi e tika ana kia āta arohia e ngā kaipūtea o tāwāhi ina uru ki te rohe.

Regional Implications（Ngā Pānga ā-Rohe）

Ahitereiria: Kia ngohengohe ake te whakauru i ngā pūngao whakahoutia

Ko te mākete hiko ā-motu o Ahitereiria (NEM) e pā ana ki ngā mamae o te whakakore waro me te piki tere o te ōwehenga o ngā pūngao whakahoutia; ko te pūmautanga o te pūnaha me te hoahoa mākete kaha wā-roa ngā mea e arotahi ana. Ko ngā wheako a WEC mō te whakahaere ranu i te hau māori me te rokiroki pūngao, ka taea te kī he otinga mīhini whai hua mō te whakahaere i ngā puna hiko tauwhiwhi. Ka taea hoki e ngā rohe maina mamao o Ahitereiria-uru te whakamahi i āna hangarau whatunga hiko iti.

Aotearoa: Hei āpiti i te hiko wai, kaua hei whakakapi

Kua neke ake i te 80% te ōwehenga o ngā pūngao whakahoutia o Aotearoa, engari ko te hiko wai te tino puna e whakawhirinakihia ana; i ngā tau māturuturu ka puta te pēhitanga o te "taumata wai iti". Ko te kaupapa pākahiko o Paris a WEC (te rokiroki nui tuatahi o Wisconsin) e whakaatu ana i tētahi huarahi hei whakaeneene i te hiko i waenga i ngā huringa ua me te māturuturu. Ka taea e Aotearoa te arotake i te āheinga o te whakatakoto pākahiko nui ake i Te Ika-a-Māui me Te Waipounamu.

Ngā Moutere o Te Moana-nui-a-Kiwa: He iti te rahi, he teitei ngā paerewa

Mō ngā whenua moutere e nohoia ana e ngā tāngata hia mano noa iho, kāore e taea te kape i te rahi o te haumi pūtea a WEC e hia piriona tāra ana. Engari, ko te tauira a WEC, arā, te whakatūtanga e WEC Infrastructure o tētahi kamupene tamariki kāore i raro i te ture whakahaere, hei whakawhanake i te hau me te rā puta noa i te United States, ka taea te "whakaiti" me te kape ki Te Moana-nui-a-Kiwa – ā, mā te peke whanaketanga ā-rohe, mā tētahi pūnaha whakahaere a ngā rōpū maha rānei, ka whakahiatohia ngā kaupapa pūngao whakahoutia iti i waenga i ngā moutere maha mō te pūtea tahi, hei whakaheke i ngā utu tauwhitinga. Hei tauira, ka taea e Tonga, Hāmoa me Whīti te tiri i ngā paerewa hangarau me ngā rōpū tiaki, kia hangaia ai he "ara whakatipuranga hiko tohatoha ā-Moana-nui-a-Kiwa".

Ngā Ia Wā Roa: Mai i 2025 ki 2035

Ki te titiro whakamua ki ngā tekau tau e heke mai nei, ka taea e tātou te matapae ka pā ēnei ia e whai ake nei ki te ōhanga pūngao o Ōhiāniha:1. Te heketanga o te “pūngao whakahou + roki hiko” ki te rahi o ngā moutere: Ka heke tonu te utu o ngā pākahiko, ā, tae atu ki te tau 2030, mō tētahi whenua moutere o Te Moana-nui-a-Kiwa, ka iti iho te utu o te pūnaha hau, rā, roki hiko i te utu o te whakatipuranga hiko diesel o te rahi ōrite, mō te roanga o te oranga.

2. Ka tini haere ngā tikanga pūtea matomato: Ka noho ko ngā here matomato, ngā pūtea taurewa e herea ana ki te whanaketanga toitū, me te “whakawhiti nama mō te mahi āhuarangi” hei huarahi matua mō te pūtea o ngā kaupapa hiko a ngā moutere. Ka rere mai te pūtea nō Ahitereiria me Niu Ioka mā ēnei taputapu, rite tonu ki te rautaki here matomato a WEC.

3. Ka noho te whakahaere whatunga hiko me te whakawhiti hangarau hei kaupapa hou o te mahi tahi Tonga-ki-Tonga: He tokomaha ngā pūkenga whatunga hiko kua rēti i Ahitereiria, Aotearoa, me Hapani. Mā ngā whakahaere ā-rohe o Te Moana-nui-a-Kiwa (pērā i te Hapori o Te Moana-nui-a-Kiwa, SPC) ka taea te whakatū i tētahi hononga tohunga hei tautoko i ngā moutere mā te aro turuki mamao.

4. Te whakakotahitanga o te pūngao me te tāpoi: Ko ngā whare noho tāpoi teitei ngā kaiwhakamahi tuatahi o ngā “whatunga hiko iti moutere”; e rua ō rātou hiahia: kia pono te tuku hiko, kia mārama hoki te āhua kore waro. Mā tēnei ka kuhu mai te pūtea tūmataiti.

Whakataunga

Mā te pūrongo 2025 a WEC Energy Group e kite ai tātou i te mahi a tētahi kamupene pūngao pakari e whakataurite mārire ana i waenga i te panonitanga hangarau, ngā here pūtea, me ngā tumanako o te hunga whai pānga. Ki a Oceania, inarā ki ngā whenua moutere o Te Moana-nui-a-Kiwa, ehara te tino tikanga o tēnei pūrongo i te whakarārangi i ngā whāinga nunui, engari kei te whakaatu i te huarahi whakatinana o te “pūtea wā-roa + hanganga mahi maha + hononga pūmau”.

Ko te tino kitenga: kua kore te panonitanga pūngao o te ao e noho ko te mahi a tētahi whenua, tētahi tuawhenua rānei. Ka taea e te pūrongo haepapa umanga nō te Uru Waenganui o Amerika te hono ki te anamata o ngā whenua moutere o Te Moana-nui-a-Kiwa ki te Tonga. He tohu pū tēnei, i te wā āhuarangi, kāore he moutere motuhake o te ōhanga ā-rohe. Ki a Ahitereiria me Aotearoa, he tohu tēnei: ehara i te mea ko ngā whiriwhiringa i waenga i ngā whenua anake e kitea ai te kaiārahi ā-rohe, engari ko te tohatoha hangarau pūngao me te auahatanga pūtea matomato hoki.

Ki te taea e ngā whenua moutere o Te Moana-nui-a-Kiwa, i runga i ngā akoranga mai i ngā kamupene matatau pērā i a WEC, te hoahoa i ō rātou ake hanganga pūngao ranu me ngā anga pūtea, kātahi, i roto i ngā tau tekau e heke mai, ka tūpono ngā ōhanga moutere o tēnei moana whānui hei kāhui whatunga iti tino kākāriki me tino manawaroa o te ao.
