加利福尼亞州奧克蘭，2024年9月24日 / PRNewswire / - 太平洋煤氣與電力公司（PG&E）獲得了來自美國能源部（DOE）電網部門的3450萬美元的補助，用於支持其系統中的19個水力發電項目。
The grant awards are part of the DOE's Maintaining and Enhancing Hydroelectricity Incentive program, and will fund work that provides grid resiliency, improves dam safety, and reduces environmental impacts associated with ongoing operations.
這些補助證書是美國能源部維護和增強水力發電激勵計劃的一部分，將資助提供電網彈性，改善水壩安全性並減少與持續運營相關的環境影響的工作。
"Hydroelectric power is one of the most reliable, affordable, and efficient forms of carbon-free electricity in our portfolio," said Dave Gabbard, Vice President, Power Generation. "The federal funds will directly benefit PG&E customers by way of performance and capacity enhancements to hydroelectric projects that will continue to provide reliable, sustainable, and cost-effective renewable energy for decades to come."
「水力發電是我們投資組合中最可靠，最經濟實惠和最高效的無碳電力形式之一，」電力代表戴夫·加巴德表示。「聯邦資金將通過對水力項目的性能和容量增強，直接造福於PG&E的客戶，這些項目將繼續爲未來數十年提供可靠，可持續且具有成本效益的可再生能源。」
PG&E operates and maintains the second largest privately owned hydroelectric system in the United States, generating roughly 3,867 megawatts (MW) of power via 61 conventional hydro powerhouses, a pumped storage facility, 98 reservoirs, 168 dams, and more than 400 miles of canals, flumes, tunnels, penstocks, siphons and natural waterways. The grants enable PG&E to cost effectively make critical system improvements for safety and reliability.
太平洋煤氣與電力公司是美國第二大私人擁有的水力發電系統的運營商和維護人員，通過61個傳統水電站，一個抽水蓄能設施，98個水庫，168個水壩以及400多英里的運河，水管，隧道，壓力筒，虹吸管和自然水道大致產生3,867兆瓦（MW）的電力。這些資助使PG&E能夠有效地進行關鍵系統改進，以確保安全性和可靠性。
The utility's hydro projects that will benefit from the federal incentive program are primarily located in Mendocino, Nevada, Plumas, Fresno, Tuolumne, Butte, Amador, Calaveras, and Shasta counties. Major projects are planned for Potter Valley, Lake Fordyce, Lower Bucks Spillway, Lower Blue Lake, Rock Creek and Cresta Cofferdam, Lake Almanor Dam, Courtright Dam, Strawberry Dam, DeSabla, Tiger Creek, Salt Springs, Iron Canyon, Pit 7 Dam, Poe Dam, and Pit 1.
從聯邦激勵計劃中受益的該公司水力項目主要位於門多西諾，內華達，普拉馬斯，弗雷斯諾，圖勒姆，布特，阿馬多爾，卡拉維拉斯和沙斯塔等縣。主要項目計劃在波特谷，福迪斯湖，下巴克斯溢洪道，下藍湖，洛克克里克和克雷斯塔樞紐大壩，阿爾曼納湖大壩，科賴特大壩，草莓大壩，德薩布拉，老虎溪，鹽泉，鐵峽，皮特7大壩，坡大壩和皮特1等地。
"These funds will enable us to continue advancing hydroelectricity and environmental sustainability in a cost-effective manner and will further propel us toward a future where clean energy is accessible and dependable for all," said Gabbard.
加巴德說：「這些資金將使我們能夠以節約成本的方式繼續推動水力發電和環境可持續發展，並進一步推動我們朝着讓清潔能源對所有人都可獲得和可靠的未來邁進。」
