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）聯手合作安裝11.8兆瓦的市政太陽能系統。 該能源解決方案，預計將削減貝瑞阿市40%的傳統能源消耗，在未來25到30年系統壽命期內，將為該市節約超過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計，建造，安裝，操作，監視和維護。 同時還包括全市范圍內的路燈升級，改造內部和外部照明，空調和技術升級，實施新的能源管理，以為該市最大限度地節省能源。
    該項目計劃于2011年完工。其中項目數據，包括正在生產的太陽能發電量，將在貝瑞阿社區中心和城市網站進行展示。

    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.
