领先的能源公司合作提出水电方案 & 纽约州北部的可天博app解决方案和为纽约创造绿色就业机会
Project will start construction in 2021 and reduce CO2 emissions by 3.9 million metric tons and contribute an estimated $50 billion in economic benefits for New York State
蒙特利尔,魁北克 – Clean energy generator Hydro-Québec and Transmission Developers, Inc. have proposed generation and transmission solutions that will help New York State meet its renewable energy and climate emissions reduction goals under its nation-leading Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act (CLCPA) by supplying New York City with clean power from Upstate New York and from Canada, 通过一条新的输电线路传送. The companies made these proposals in response to the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority’s (NYSERDA) Tier 4 renewable energy procurement process.
Hydro-Québec与传输开发公司合作. 开发尚普兰·哈德逊动力快车(CHPE), which would link Hydro-Québec’s existing hydropower facilities as well as upstate renewable generation to New York City. The proposals submitted to NYSERDA offer the following alternatives:
- 100% clean hydropower deliveries from Québec over the new direct transmission line;
- a combination of New York renewable energy and Québec clean hydroelectricity via an additional converter station, 或入站, 在新苏格兰建造, NY.
这些建议将为纽约市提供至多1个,250兆瓦的可天博app——足够一个以上的人使用.200万个家庭. This clean power influx will reduce carbon emissions by approximately 3.9 million metric tons annually, equivalent to removing 44% of cars from New York City streets. The positive impacts will be particularly evident in environmental justice communities, where the project will substantially decrease harmful local air pollutants that affect respiratory health. 具体地说, CHPE will decrease localized air pollutants emitted by burning fossil-fuel for electricity generation by 20% throughout the state in its first year of operations. 其中一半将发生在纽约市, where most fossil-fuel peaker plants are located in or adjacent to disadvantaged communities.
The permitted CHPE transmission line is the only project sufficiently advanced to begin construction in 2021 and commence operations and begin reducing generation from downstate fossil fuel plants by 2025. 新的输电线路完全在地下或水下, 源自南部Québec, and making its way under Lake Champlain and the Hudson and Harlem rivers to a substation in Astoria, 皇后区. World class construction specialists have recently signed exclusive contracts with CHPE.
天博app下载能源基础设施有望创造超过1个,400 new construction jobs for New Yorkers and result in approximately $50 billion in total estimated economic benefits for the state from 2021 to 2050.
让纽约远离化石燃料
Renewable energy delivered over CHPE can replace over half of the emission free power generated by the recently retired Indian Point nuclear facility. The loss of Indian Point has resulted in an increased use of fossil generation, 特别是在纽约，到今年年底, as much as 85-90% of the power produced will come from carbon emitting sources. Delivering base-load clean power from Hydro-Quebéc and Upstate renewables into NYC can reduce fossil-fuel use and provide a flexible energy resource that can maximize New York’s ability to efficiently integrate the planned development of offshore wind. 长期, Hydro-Québec’s existing hydropower system can act as a natural battery to complement New York’s future buildouts of local renewables such as Upstate wind, 太阳能和近海风.
建设天博app下载能源 的项目
The widely supported CHPE will be constructed using union labor and has committed to hiring from local workforces with a focus on a diversity and expanded recruitment from disadvantaged communities. This innovative buried infrastructure project has been endorsed by labor unions, 商业组织, 民选官员, 环保组织, 学者和其他.
该提案还包括创建 绿色经济基金. The GEF will help create a new green-energy workforce by funding clean-energy jobs-training programs for disadvantaged and frontline communities and those currently underrepresented in the construction industry, 包括BIPOC和妇女, as well as provide access to retraining for those currently employed in the fossil fuel industry.
Hydro-Québec为纽约州提供了天博app下载能源, 不间断, 几十年的廉价水电, 说 索菲·布罗楚Hydro-Québec总裁兼首席执行官. The CHPE proposal can expand this relationship to help the state and city meet their world-leading climate goals, all the while supporting the coordinated US-Canada approach to encourage the development of cross-border clean electricity transmission.”
“天博APP的允许, 完全埋, construction-ready transmission project is certainly the most viable option for New York. CHPE提供了释放低碳的重要环节, cost-effective electricity from the Québec system and Upstate to decarbonize New York City” 说 Don Jessome, 传输开发公司 .的首席执行官.
关于魁北克电力局
Hydro-Québec is the largest renewable energy producer in North America. 几十年来,, 该公司一直是纽约可靠的能源合作伙伴, providing clean power to the State in support of its clean energy and reliability needs. 为了获取CHPE的来源, Hydro-Québec将扩大其在Québec的输电网, 从赫特尔变电站到Québec-New约克边境.
关于传输开发公司.
传输开发公司., 天博app, has spent a decade meticulously developing with local stakeholders the N.Y. 这是项目的一部分，全程339英里. 固态地下电缆将在尚普兰湖传输, the Hudson and Harlem Rivers and terrestrially on railroad rights of way and roads until it reaches a converter station in Astoria, 皇后区 where its emission-free energy will be distributed into New York City.
