Meta i ka mana Idaho data center me 200 MW Plus papahana solar

I kona imi mau ana i ka manakona mau kikowaena ʻikepili a pau e ka ikehu hiki ke hoʻololi ʻia, Ua neʻe aku ʻo Meta i ka mokuʻāina ʻo Gem State o Idaho.Ua huli ka mea hoʻohana o Instagram, WhatsApp a me Facebook i kahi mea hoʻomohala papahana ma Salt Lake City e kūkulu i ka mea e hiki ke lilo i ʻoihana nui loa o ka lā ma Idaho e kākoʻo i kāna Boise, Id., nā hana ʻikepili, ma 200 MW o ka mana mana.

I kēia pule ua hoʻolaha ka mea hoʻomohala papahana ʻo rPlus Energies i ke kau inoa ʻana i kahi ʻaelike kūʻai mana no ka wā lōʻihi (PPA) me ka mea hoʻohana waiwai ʻo Idaho Power e hoʻokomo i ka papahana 200 MW Pleasant Valley Solar ma Ada County, Idaho.Ke hoʻopau ʻia, ʻo ka pāhana solar ka nui o ka mahiʻai solar ma ka ʻāina lawelawe o ka pono.

Wahi a ka mea hoʻomohala, ʻo ka hana ʻana o Pleasant Valley e manaʻo ʻia e hoʻohana i nā mea ʻaelike kūloko i ka wā o ke kūkulu ʻana, e lawe mai i ka loaʻa kālā nui ma ia wahi, e pōmaikaʻi ana i nā ʻoihana kūloko, a e lawe mai i 220 mau limahana hana.Manaʻo ʻia e hoʻomaka ke kūkulu ʻia ʻana o ka hale ma hope o kēia makahiki.

"Ua nui ka lā ma Idaho - a ke haʻaheo nei mākou ma rPlus Energies e kōkua i ka moku'āina e hoʻokō i kahi ala maʻamau i ke kūʻokoʻa o ka ikehu a hoʻohana i ka nui o ka ikehu i kona mana piha," wahi a Luigi Resta, ka pelekikena a me ka luna nui o rPlus Energies .

Ua hāʻawi ʻia ka mea hoʻomohala i ka Pleasant Valley Solar PPA ma o kahi kaʻina kūkākūkā me Meta a me Idaho Power.Ua hiki ke PPA ma o ka Energy Services Agreement e hiki ai i ka Meta ke komo i nā mea hou e kākoʻo i kāna mau hana kūloko aʻo ka mana pū kekahi i ka pono.E hāʻawi ʻo Pleasant Valley i ka mana maʻemaʻe i loko o ka pahu Idaho Power a kōkua i ka pahuhopu o Meta e hoʻoikaika i ka 100% o kāna mau hana me ka ikehu maʻemaʻe.

Ua mālama ka mea hoʻomohala iā Sundt Renewables no ka hoʻolako ʻana i nā lawelawe ʻenehana, kūʻai, a me ke kūkulu ʻana (EPC) no ka papahana Pleasant Valley.Ua loaʻa i ka EPC ka ʻike ma ka ʻāina, a ua ʻaelike ʻo ia me rPlus Energies no 280 MW o nā papahana solar pono ma ka mokuʻāina ʻo Utah.

"Ua kūpaʻa ʻo Meta i ka hōʻemi ʻana i kā mākou kapuaʻi kaiapuni i nā kaiāulu kahi a mākou e noho ai a hana, a ʻo ke kikowaena o kēia pahuhopu ka hana ʻana, ke kūkulu ʻana a me ka holo ʻana i nā kikowaena ʻikepili ikaika i kākoʻo ʻia e ka ikehu hou," wahi a Urvi Parekh, ke poʻo o ka ikehu hou ma Meta. ."ʻO kekahi o nā kumu nui i ke koho ʻana iā Idaho no kā mākou wahi kikowaena data hou ma 2022, ʻo ia ke komo ʻana i ka ikehu hou, a haʻaheo ʻo Meta e hui pū me Idaho Power a me rPlus Energies e kōkua i ka lawe ʻana i ka ikehu hou hou aku i ka pahu Treasure Valley."

E hoʻonui nui ʻo Pleasant Valley Solar i ka nui o ka ikehu hou ma ka ʻōnaehana Idaho Power.Ke kūʻai ikaika nei ka mea hoʻohana i nā papahana ikehu hou e pili ana i kāna pahuhopu e hoʻomohala i ka ikehu maʻemaʻe 100% e 2045. Wahi a SEIA, i ka Q4 2022, ʻo ka mokuʻāina kaulana no kāna mau ʻuala i helu 29 ma US no ka hoʻomohala ʻana o ka lā, me ka 644 MW o ka huina. nā mea hoʻonoho.

"ʻAʻole e lilo wale ʻo Pleasant Valley i ka papahana solar nui loa ma kā mākou ʻōnaehana, akā he kumu hoʻohālike ia o ke ʻano o kā mākou papahana Clean Energy Your Way i manaʻo ʻia e kōkua iā mākou e hui pū me nā mea kūʻai aku e hoʻokō i kā lākou mau pahuhopu ikehu maʻemaʻe," wahi a Lisa Grow, Luna Nui. luna o Idaho Power.

I ka Hui Pū ʻIa Hui Pū ʻIa o Solar (SEIA) Waiwai, ʻauhau a me nā mea kūʻai aku ma New York, ua ʻōlelo ʻo Meta's Parekh ke ʻike nei ka ʻoihana media kaiapuni i kahi 30% paʻa o ka ulu ʻana o ka makahiki no ka hoʻopili ʻana i nā papahana ikehu hou e hui pū me kāna mea hou. nā hana kikowaena ʻikepili.

I ka hoʻomaka ʻana o 2023, ʻo Meta ka mea nui loamea kūʻai pāʻoihana a me ka ʻoihanao ka mana o ka lā ma US, e kaena kokoke ana i ka 3.6 GW o ka mana o ka lā.Ua hōʻike pū ʻo Parekh aia ka ʻoihana ma luna o 9 GW o ka mana e kali ana i ka hoʻomohala ʻana i nā makahiki e hiki mai ana, me nā papahana e like me Pleasant Valley Solar e hōʻike ana i kāna kōpili waiwai hou.

I ka hopena o 2022, ua haʻi ʻo Resta i ka pv magazine USA ka mea hoʻomohala o ke komohanae hana ikaika ana ma kahi kōpili hoʻomohala 1.2 GWma waena o ka 13 GW nui-makahiki papahana pipeline e loaʻa ana i ka lā, mālama ikehu, makani a me nā waiwai mālama wai paila.
