近日，貝瑞阿市和雪佛龍能源解決方案（可再生氣體石油集團的分部）聯(lián)手合作安裝11.8兆瓦的市政太陽能系統(tǒng)。 該能源解決方案，預(yù)計將削減貝瑞阿市40%的傳統(tǒng)能源消耗，在未來25到30年系統(tǒng)壽命期內(nèi)，將為該市節(jié)約超過1300萬美元的花費。
    在安裝后，貝瑞阿市將是奧蘭治縣最大的市政太陽能用戶。而太陽能電池板將安裝在社區(qū)中心，文娛及文化中心，水庫市水泵場。雪佛龍能源解決方案將為該市太陽能進行設(shè)計，建造，安裝，操作，監(jiān)視和維護。 同時還包括全市范圍內(nèi)的路燈升級，改造內(nèi)部和外部照明，空調(diào)和技術(shù)升級，實施新的能源管理，以為該市最大限度地節(jié)省能源。
    該項目計劃于2011年完工。其中項目數(shù)據(jù)，包括正在生產(chǎn)的太陽能發(fā)電量，將在貝瑞阿社區(qū)中心和城市網(wǎng)站進行展示。

    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.
