太阳能点亮加州贝瑞阿

    近日，贝瑞阿市和雪佛龙能源解决方案（可再生气体石油集团的分部）联手合作安装11.8兆瓦的市政太阳能系统。 该能源解决方案，预计将削减贝瑞阿市40%的传统能源消耗，在未来25到30年系统寿命期内，将为该市节约超过1300万美元的花费。
    在安装后，贝瑞阿市将是奥兰治县最大的市政太阳能用户。而太阳能电池板将安装在社区中心，文娱及文化中心，水库市水泵场。雪佛龙能源解决方案将为该市太阳能进行设计，建造，安装，操作，监视和维护。 同时还包括全市范围内的路灯升级，改造内部和外部照明，空调和技术升级，实施新的能源管理，以为该市最大限度地节省能源。
    该项目计划于2011年完工。其中项目数据，包括正在生产的太阳能发电量，将在贝瑞阿社区中心和城市网站进行展示。

    The city of Brea and Chevron Energy Solutions, the renewable arm of the oil and gas conglomerate, are partnering to install 1.8 megawatts of municipal solar power. The solar energy is expected to cut Brea’s conventional energy consumption by 40 percent and save the city $13 million over the 25- to 30-year lifespan of the system.
    Upon installation, Brea will be the largest municipal user of solar power in Orange County. The solar panels will be installed at the Community Center, Civic and Cultural Center and the Reservoir City Pump Yard. Chevron Energy Solutions will design, build, install, operate, monitor and maintain the systems for the city. Also included in the project are citywide streetlight upgrades, interior and exterior lighting retrofits, HVAC upgrades and implementation of new energy management technologies to maximize energy savings from the solar installations.
    The project is scheduled for completion in 2011. Data from the project, including the amount of solar electricity being produced, will be made available through a display at the Brea Community Center and on the city’s website.
