Pivot Energy and the University of Colorado Boulder Join Forces to Develop Off-site Solar Energy Project in Colorado
The partnership takes advantage of Colorado's new, net metering program and supports the University's decarbonization goals
該合作利用科羅拉多州全新的淨計量計劃，支持大學的減碳目標。
BOULDER, Colo., July 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Pivot Energy, a leading, national renewable energy provider and independent power producer and the University of Colorado Boulder (CU Boulder), have reached a 5 megawatt dc (MWdc) virtual net metering agreement. Under the 20-year subscription agreement, Pivot will develop an off-site net metering solar project in Weld County, which it will own and operate.
科羅拉多州博爾德市，2024年7月23日 / PRNewswire / - 領先的國家可再生能源供應商和獨立發電商Pivot Energy與科羅拉多大學博爾德分校（CU Boulder）達成了一項5兆瓦直流（MWdc）虛擬淨計量協議。根據爲期20年的訂閱協議，Pivot將在韋爾德縣開發一個離網站計量太陽能項目，該項目將由Pivot擁有和運營。
CU Boulder is taking advantage of virtual net metering, an innovative new program made possible by Colorado Senate Bill 21-26 in 2021, which enables organizations to benefit from the energy produced by offsite solar installations. The University will utilize solar power generated by the offsite net-metering solar project, without needing to install solar onsite. The offsite solar project feeds directly into the electric grid, with CU Boulder receiving credits for the renewable energy produced on its electric bills.
博爾德大學正在利用虛擬淨計量，這是一種創新的新型計劃，由2021年科羅拉多參議院法案21-26開啓。此計劃使得組織能夠從離網站太陽能裝置產生的能量中受益。大學將利用離網站計量太陽能項目產生的太陽能，無需在現場安裝太陽能電池板。該離網站太陽能項目可直接注入電網，博爾德大學將獲得在其電費賬單上能源產生的信用額。
Additionally, 100% of the project's Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) from the offsite solar project will be transferred to CU Boulder, helping the university advance its goals to reduce its Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions 50% by 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality by 2050.
此外，該項目的100％可再生能源信用（RECs）將從離網站太陽能項目轉移到博爾德大學，有助於該大學實現其減少範圍2溫室氣體（GHG）排放50％至2030年，並在2050年實現碳中和的目標。
"Pivot Energy is excited to partner with a renowned university like CU Boulder on this impactful clean energy project that brings more solar power to Colorado," said Mat Elmore, SVP of Strategic Accounts at Pivot Energy. "CU Boulder illustrates how colleges and universities can be leaders in helping advance the clean energy transition."
“Pivot Energy很高興與CU Boulder這樣的知名大學合作，推動這個有影響力的清潔能源項目，爲科羅拉多帶來更多的太陽能電力，” Pivot Energy戰略帳戶高級副總裁Mat Elmore說。CU Boulder說明了大學如何成爲推動清潔能源轉型的領導者。
This is Pivot Energy's first solar project and collaboration with CU Boulder.
這是Pivot Energy與CU Boulder的第一個太陽能項目合作。
"The Pivot Energy agreement is an important step for CU Boulder in the sustainability realm," University of Colorado Boulder Chancellor Justin Schwartz said. "We are pleased to be an inaugural subscriber under the innovative policy passed into law in Colorado to expand Colorado's solar resources and demonstrate continued leadership in the energy transition. Sustainability – in our research, teaching and operations – is one of my top priorities as chancellor, and I am thrilled that this agreement is one of the first big projects I have the pleasure of sharing with our campus community and fellow Coloradans."
科羅拉多大學博爾德分校校長Justin Schwartz說：“Pivot Energy的協議對於CU Boulder在可持續性領域是一項重要的步驟。我們很高興成爲領先訂戶之一，利用在科羅拉多州制定的創新政策擴大科羅拉多州的太陽能資源，繼續展示在能源轉型方面的領導力。可持續性 - 在我們的研究、教學和操作中 - 是我的首要任務之一，我很高興這個協議是我與我們校園社區和科羅拉多人分享的第一個重大項目之一。”
The project is expected to be completed in early 2026 and will produce an estimated 9.5 million kilowatt-hours (kWh) of solar energy annually, the equivalent to powering more than 850 homes and taking 1,580 passenger cars off the road for one year. Laid end-to-end, the project's solar panels are enough to fill four football fields.
該項目預計於2026年初完成，每年可產生約950萬千瓦時（kWh）太陽能電力，相當於爲850多個家庭供電，並使1580輛乘用車減少一年的尾氣排放。該項目的太陽能電池板就足以鋪滿四個足球場。
