I-Ofisi yeGesi kunye neeMarike zoMbane, eyaziwa ngokuba yi-Ofgem, ityale i-£ 300m ekwandiseni inethiwekhi yokutshaja isithuthi sombane sase-UK (EV) namhlanje, ukutyhala i-pedal kwikamva eliphantsi lekhabhoni yelizwe.
Kwiphulo lokufumana i-zero, isebe likarhulumente ongelolungu libeke imali emva kwecandelo lezithuthi zombane, ukuze kufakwe iindawo zokuhlawulisa amatsha ali-1,800 kuzo zonke iindawo zenkonzo yeenqwelo-mafutha kunye neendawo eziphambili zendlela ezinkulu.
“Kunyaka apho iGlasgow isingathe ingqungquthela yemozulu ye-COP26, uthungelwano lwamandla lunyukela kulo mngeni kwaye lusebenza nathi kunye namahlakani ukukhawulezisa iiprojekthi ezinokuqalisa ngoku, ezinceda abathengi, zikhulise uqoqosho nokudala imisebenzi.”
"Ngaphezu kweemoto zombane ze-500,000 ngoku kwiindlela zase-UK, oku kuya kunceda ukwandisa eli nani nangakumbi njengoko abaqhubi beqhubeka betshintshela kwiimoto ezicocekileyo, eziluhlaza," kusho umphathiswa wezothutho uRachel Maclean.
Ngelixa ubunini bemoto yombane bukhula, uphando lwe-Ofgem lufumanise ukuba iipesenti ezingama-36 zamakhaya angenanjongo yokufumana isithuthi sombane ziyekiwe ukwenza utshintsho ngenxa yokungabikho kweendawo zokutshaja kufutshane nekhaya labo.
'Uluhlu lwamaxhala' luthintele ukuthathwa kwee-EV e-UK, iintsapho ezininzi zinexhala lokuba ziya kuphelelwa yintlawulo ngaphambi kokuba zifike apho ziya khona.
U-Ofgem uzame ukulwa noku ngokucinezela uthungelwano lweendawo zokutshaja iimoto, kunye nakwizixeko ezinjengeGlasgow, Kirkwall, Warrington, Llandudno, York kunye neTruro.
Olu tyalo-mali lukwabandakanya iindawo ezininzi zasemaphandleni ezineendawo zokuhlawulisa abakhweli kwizikhululo zikaloliwe eMntla naseMbindi Wales kunye nokufakelwa kombane kwisikhephe saseWindermere.
"Intlawulo iya kuxhasa ukuthatyathwa ngokukhawuleza kwezithuthi zombane eziya kubaluleka ukuba iBritane iza kubetha iithagethi zayo zokutshintsha kwemozulu.Abaqhubi kufuneka baqiniseke ukuba imoto yabo banokuyibiza ngokukhawuleza xa beyifuna,” wongeze watsho uBrearley.
Ihanjiswa luthungelwano lombane lwaseBritane, utyalo-mali lothungelwano luphawula ibhidi eqinileyo kwizibophelelo zemozulu zase-UK phambi kokubamba ingqungquthela yemozulu ye-UN ephambili, i-COP26.
UDavid Smith, uMlawuli oyiNtloko we-Energy Networks Association emele i-UK kunye ne-Ireland yamashishini othungelwano lwamandla uthe:
“Kwiinyanga nje ezimbalwa ezishiyekileyo de kufike i-COP26 siyavuya kuba sikwazile ukuzisa phambili umxhasi obaluleke kangaka wamabhongo eNkulumbuso yokubuyisela uhlaza,” utshilo u-David Smith oyiNtloko ye-Energy Networks Association.
"Ukubonelela ngokutsha okuluhlaza kwiilwandle, isibhakabhaka kunye nezitrato, ngaphezulu kwe-300m ye-300m yotyalo-mali lwenethiwekhi yokusasazwa kombane kuya kwenza iiprojekthi ezibanzi eziza kunceda ukujongana nemiceli mngeni emikhulu ye-Net Zero, efana nexhala loluhlu lwezithuthi zombane kunye ne-decarbonisation yezothutho ezinzima."
