输配电现代化 基础设施 需要将它们与新能源连接起来 除去碳素经济体 并为客户建立弹性 丽莎·拉罗克·亚历山大他是Sempra公司事务高级副总裁兼首席可持续发展官.
During a recent interview at the Intercontinental Exchange’s Climate 和 Capital Conference in New York City, 亚历山大对商界听众说, 环境和政策领导人认为，第一步是使 能源过渡 是要进行一次务实的对话吗 什么是可能的 和 重要性 能源基础设施.
“We need to go beyond the obvious 和 really underst和 energy systems because that’s going to help identify 机会 that others aren’t seeing that relate to enabling the 能源过渡,亚历山大说. “I think we need to have a functional conversation around the capabilities that our future energy systems need.”
面试, 由Brian Matt领导, 他是纽约证券交易所ESG咨询公司的负责人, 重点介绍了森普拉在不断发展的能源格局中采取的积极主动的方法.
建立韧性，拥抱适应
实现能源转型需要关注三个关键问题, 亚历山大告诉马特和观众.
“能源的未来需要我们在脱碳的三脚凳上保持平衡， 弹性 以及负担能力，”她说.
The balance is crucial because of increasing complexity of energy systems along with climate unpredictability, 表示亚历山大.
事实上，在美国.S. 独自一人, severe weather 事件 each costing more than $1 billion have become the norm rather than the exception 和y are happening less than every two weeks, 据美国国家海洋和大气管理局称. 一个单独的 研究 国际能源署发现 电 trans任务 和 distribution 基础设施 needs to exp和 by 2 million kilometers (or more than 124 million miles) per year with larger, 更新和 更聪明的 基础设施.
Alex和er said Sempra is investing in 创新s to make energy 基础设施 even more agile 和 resilient to meet these challenges. 通过专注于 可持续发展的 商业行为, Sempra是适应性方法的典范, 它的运营公司在哪里不断优化他们的运营 推进弹性 并支持社区，她说.
例如，Sempra California的San Diego Gas & 电气(西班牙&E)一直在积极地增加 能量储存 和 微型电网 加强弹性. 另一家森普拉加州运营公司， SoCalGas美国在这方面一直处于领先地位 氢技术，在电网和能源可靠性方面发挥着重要作用. Sempra基础设施，另一家Sempra运营公司，正在探索开发 Hackberry碳封存 设施, 预计每年捕获约200万吨二氧化碳, 与公司的 液化天然气 作为潜在主力客户的出口项目.
The multiple development projects across Sempra’s operating companies work to tackle the 能源过渡 with the three-pronged approach of 脱碳亚历山大说，美国经济的弹性和可承受性.
森普拉不仅仅是被动地应对时代变化或自然灾害, 公司正在帮助 设定节奏 的能量转换 创新 和现代化，亚历山大说.
“这是技术的结合, 硬件和软件, 这使我们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,”亚历山大说。.
森普拉加州的可持续发展目标&E是一家私人拥有的公司的所有者 气象站网络，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森普拉及其家族公司 积极的立场, but also positions the company as a leading innovator that integrates cutting-edge solutions to help shape a more resilient 和 可持续发展的 energy l和scape.
森普拉的下一步是什么
Private 和 public financing 和 incentives — like those borne from the Inflation Reduction Act — are expected to be tailwind for Sempra’s business model.
“It’s going to create more dem和 和 need for more capacity on our systems that in turn creates a significant investment case for us 和 other utilities in this space,”亚历山大说。.
森普拉的重点是 三大成长平台 - - - - - -加州, 德克萨斯州和墨西哥, 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 健壮的机会 重大基础设施投资. Sempra companies are currently executing a robust capital plan to help address the growing dem和 of safe 和 reliable energy, 同时实现能源转换.
