IHhovisi Lezimakethe Zegesi Nogesi, elibuye laziwe nge-Ofgem, litshale u-£300m ekwandiseni inethiwekhi yokushaja yezimoto zikagesi zase-UK (EV) namuhla, ukuze kuqhutshekwe nokuhamba ngekusasa lezwe elinekhabhoni ephansi.
Emzamweni wokuthola u-zero, umnyango kahulumeni ongeyena ungqongqoshe ubeke imali ngemuva kwemboni yezimoto zikagesi, ukuze kufakwe izindawo zokushaja ezintsha eziyi-1,800 kuzo zonke izindawo zesevisi yezimoto kanye nezindawo ezibalulekile zemigwaqo.
“Ngonyaka lapho iGlasgow isingathe khona ingqungquthela yesimo sezulu ye-COP26, amanethiwekhi kagesi abhekana nenselelo futhi asebenzisana nathi kanye nozakwethu ukusheshisa amaphrojekthi angaqala manje, ahlomule abathengi, athuthukise umnotho nokudala amathuba emisebenzi.”
"Njengoba kunezimoto zikagesi ezingaphezu kuka-500,000 manje ezisemigwaqweni yase-UK, lokhu kuzosiza ukwandisa lesi sibalo njengoba abashayeli beqhubeka nokushintshela ezimotweni ezihlanzekile, eziluhlaza," kusho ungqongqoshe wezokuthutha uRachel Maclean.
Ngenkathi ubunikazi bezimoto zikagesi bukhula, ucwaningo lwe-Ofgem luthole ukuthi amaphesenti angama-36 emindeni engahlosile ukuthola imoto kagesi ayacishwa ngenxa yokuntuleka kwezindawo zokushaja eduze kwasekhaya.
'Ukukhathazeka okuhlukahlukene' kunqande ukusetshenziswa kwama-EV e-UK, imindeni eminingi ikhathazekile ngokuthi izophelelwa yizindleko ngaphambi kokufika lapho iya khona.
U-Ofgem uzame ukulwa nalokhu ngokuphina inethiwekhi yezindawo zokushaja zezimoto, kanye nasemadolobheni afana neGlasgow, Kirkwall, Warrington, Llandudno, York kanye neTruro.
Lokhu kutshalwa kwezimali kuhlanganisa nezindawo eziningi zasemakhaya ezinezindawo zokushaja abagibeli eziteshini zesitimela eNyakatho ne-Mid Wales kanye nokufakwa kukagesi esikebheni sase-Windermere.
“Inkokhelo izokweseka ukushesha ukuthathwa kwezimoto zikagesi okuzobaluleka kakhulu uma iBrithani izofinyelela imigomo yayo yokuguquguquka kwesimo sezulu.Abashayeli kumele baqiniseke ukuthi bangakwazi ukushaja imoto yabo ngokushesha uma bedinga,” kwengeza uBrearley.
Ilethwa amanethiwekhi kagesi aseBrithani, ukutshalwa kwezimali kwenethiwekhi kuphawula ibhidi eliqinile ezibophweni zesimo sezulu sase-UK ngaphambi kokusingatha ingqungquthela yesimo sezulu esihamba phambili ye-UN, i-COP26.
UDavid Smith, oyiChief Executive of Energy Networks Association omele amabhizinisi amanethiwekhi kagesi ase-UK nase-Ireland uthe:
"Njengoba sekusele izinyanga ezimbalwa ukuthi kufike i-COP26 sijabule kakhulu ngokuthi sikwazile ukuletha phambili izifiso zikaNdunankulu zokubuyisela esimweni esiluhlaza," kusho isikhulu esiphezulu se-Energy Networks Association, uDavid Smith.
"Ukuletha ukusimama okuluhlaza olwandle, isibhakabhaka kanye nemigwaqo, ngaphezu kuka-£300m wokutshalwa kwezimali kwenethiwekhi yokusatshalaliswa kukagesi kuzovumela amaphrojekthi ahlukahlukene azosiza ukubhekana nezinselelo zethu ezinkulu ze-Net Zero, njengokukhathazeka kwebanga lezimoto zikagesi kanye nokukhishwa kwe-carbonisation yezokuthutha ezinzima."
