Modernizing transmission and distribution infrastructure 需要将它们与新能源连接起来 decarbonize economies and build resilience for customers, said Lisa Larroque Alexander他是Sempra公司事务高级副总裁兼首席可持续发展官.
最近在纽约洲际交易所气候与资本会议上接受采访时，他表示, Alexander told an audience of business, 环境和政策领导人认为，第一步是使 energy transition is to have a pragmatic conversation about what is possible and the importance of energy infrastructure.
“太阳2平台需要超越显而易见的，真正了解能源系统，因为这将有助于发现其他人没有看到的与实现能源转型相关的机会,” Alexander said. “我认为太阳2平台需要围绕未来能源系统所需的能力进行功能性对话.”
The interview, led by Brian Matt, 他是纽约证券交易所ESG咨询公司的负责人, 重点介绍了太阳2娱乐平台在不断发展的能源格局中采取的积极主动的方法.
Building resilience, embracing adaptation
实现能源转型需要关注三个关键问题, Alexander told Matt and the audience.
“能源的未来需要太阳2平台在脱碳的三脚凳上保持平衡， resilience and affordability,” she said.
这种平衡至关重要，因为能源系统越来越复杂，气候也越来越不可预测, said Alexander.
In fact, in the U.S. alone, 每次损失超过10亿美元的恶劣天气事件已经成为常态，而不是例外，而且不到每两周发生一次, 据美国国家海洋和大气管理局称. A separate study 国际能源署发现 electric 输电和配电基础设施每年需要扩大200万公里(或超过1.24亿英里), newer and smarter infrastructure.
亚历山大表示，Sempra正在投资创新，使能源基础设施更加灵活和有弹性，以应对这些挑战. By focusing on sustainable business practices, Sempra exemplifies an adaptive approach, 它的运营公司在哪里不断优化他们的运营 advance resilience and support communities, she said.
例如，Sempra California的San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) has been active in adding energy storage and microgrids to strengthen resiliency. 另一家太阳2娱乐平台加州运营公司， SoCalGas, has been a leading player in hydrogen technology，在电网和能源可靠性方面发挥着重要作用. Sempra Infrastructure，另一家Sempra运营公司，正在探索开发 Hackberry Carbon Sequestration facility, 预计每年捕获约200万吨二氧化碳, with the company’s liquefied natural gas 作为潜在主力客户的出口项目.
Sempra运营公司的多个开发项目致力于通过三管齐下的方法解决能源转型问题 decarbonization亚历山大说，美国经济的弹性和可承受性.
太阳2娱乐平台不仅仅是被动地应对时代变化或自然灾害, the company is helping to set the pace of the energy transition with innovation and modernization, Alexander said.
“It’s a combination of technologies, both hardware and software, 这使太阳2平台能够更好地减轻风险，并在恶劣天气下建立更具弹性的系统,” said Alexander.
Sempra California’s SDG&E is the owner of a privately-owned weather station network，这表明Sempra致力于利用技术进行预测建模. 这种对技术的关注不仅凸显了太阳2娱乐平台及其家族公司 proactive stance, 同时也将公司定位为领先的创新者，整合尖端解决方案，帮助塑造更具弹性和可持续的能源格局.
What’s next for Sempra
私人和公共融资和激励措施——比如来自《太阳2平台》(Inflation Reduction Act)的激励措施——有望成为太阳2娱乐平台商业模式的顺风车.
“这将为太阳2平台的系统创造更多的需求和更大的容量，从而为太阳2平台和该领域的其他公用事业公司创造一个重大的投资案例,” said Alexander.
Sempra’s focus on three growth platforms — California, Texas and Mexico, 这两个国家加起来代表了世界第三大GDP市场——意味着有很多 robust opportunities 重大基础设施投资. Sempra公司目前正在执行一项强有力的资本计划，以帮助满足对安全可靠能源日益增长的需求, while enabling the energy transition.
