The Umbriel Solar facility provides enough clean energy to power more than 30,000 homes
Umbriel Solar 設施提供足夠的清潔能源，爲 30,000 多戶家庭供電
POLK COUNTY, TX / ACCESSWIRE / April 26, 2024 / Texas is the fastest growing state in the nation, and with rapid growth comes an increased demand for electricity. As the demand for power grows in Southeast Texas, many homeowners and businesses are requesting cleaner energy options to help support their climate and environmental goals.
德克薩斯州波爾克縣/ACCESSWIRE/2024年4月26日/得克薩斯州是全美增長最快的州，隨着快速增長，電力需求也隨之增加。隨着德克薩斯州東南部電力需求的增長，許多房主和企業要求選擇更清潔的能源，以幫助支持其氣候和環境目標。
"Generating electricity from renewable resources plays an important role in building a cleaner energy future, and Entergy Texas is seeking ways to diversify its generation portfolio and support the growing energy needs within our communities," said Abigail Weaver, Entergy Texas director of resource planning and market operations. "By listening to our customers and understanding their sustainability needs, we are leading the way for adding more low-emission and carbon-free resources to the generation mix here in Southeast Texas."
Entergy Texas資源規劃和市場運營董事阿比蓋爾·韋弗說：“利用可再生資源發電在建設清潔能源未來方面起着重要作用，德州Entergy 正在尋求實現發電組合多元化並支持我們社區不斷增長的能源需求的方法。”“通過傾聽客戶的意見並了解他們的可持續發展需求，我們正在引領在德克薩斯州東南部的發電結構中增加更多低排放和無碳資源。”
The Umbriel Solar facility is Entergy Texas' first contracted solar resource that was selected through a renewables-focused request for proposals. The facility is owned and operated by Longroad Energy, a US-based renewable energy developer. Located in Polk County, Texas, Umbriel Solar generates 150 MWac (202 MWdc) of electricity, which is enough energy to power more than 30,000 homes. The renewable energy generated helps avoid approximately 250,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions annually. To put it more plainly - the addition of this new facility is equivalent to taking approximately 55,000 cars off the road each year that the facility is in operation.
Umbriel Solar設施是德克薩斯州Entergy的第一個合同太陽能資源，是通過以可再生能源爲重點的徵求建議書選擇的。該設施由總部位於美國的可再生能源開發商Longroad Energy擁有和運營。Umbriel Solar位於德克薩斯州波爾克縣，可產生150兆瓦時（202兆瓦直流）的電力，足以爲30,000多個家庭供電。產生的可再生能源每年有助於避免大約 250,000 公噸的二氧化碳排放。說得更清楚——增建這座新設施相當於該設施投入運營後每年使大約55,000輛汽車下路。
Longroad finished construction of Umbriel Solar in November 2023, which is when Entergy Texas started receiving solar energy via its long-term power purchase agreement with the project.
Longroad於2023年11月完成了Umbriel Solar的建設，當時德克薩斯州Entergy開始通過與該項目的長期電力購買協議獲得太陽能。
"Longroad commends Entergy Texas on responding to the dual demands of generating more power and meeting customers' desire for clean, renewable energy," said Adam Horwitz, vice president of origination and development operations for Longroad Energy. "We are proud that Longroad's Umbriel Solar reached commercial operations, and has the distinction of being Entergy Texas' first large-scale, solar energy resource."
Entergy Texas customers can directly benefit from Umbriel Solar by enrolling in the company's Green Future Option program. The voluntary program provides the benefits of solar generation without the burden of owning solar panels. Under the new program, customers have the option to subscribe to a specified amount of renewable power and receive Renewable Energy Credits and bill credits based on their subscription level.
Longroad Energy負責發起和開發運營的副總裁亞當·霍維茨說：“朗羅德讚揚德克薩斯州Entergy回應了發電量和滿足客戶對清潔、可再生能源的需求的雙重需求。”“我們爲Longroad的Umbriel Solar實現商業運營感到自豪，其獨特之處在於它是德克薩斯州Entergy的第一個大型太陽能資源。”
德克薩斯州Entergy的客戶可以通過註冊Umbriel Solar的綠色未來期權計劃直接受益於該公司的綠色未來期權計劃。該自願計劃提供太陽能發電的好處，而無需承擔擁有太陽能電池板的負擔。根據新計劃，客戶可以選擇訂閱指定數量的可再生能源，並根據其訂閱級別獲得可再生能源積分和賬單抵免。
