华盛顿州的电力公司 Puget Sound Energy（PSE）10月15日宣布，在蒙大拿州中南部 Stillwater County 的 Rapelje 附近为“Battle Butte”太阳能项目举行开工仪式。这座130兆瓦的太阳能电站占地约1400英亩，预计可为2万户家庭供电，建设期间将创造约250个建筑岗位，施工将于今年秋季启动、2028年年中完工。
该项目是 PSE 为遵守华盛顿州《清洁能源转型法案》、减少化石燃料发电比例而布局的清洁能源组合之一，毗邻该公司已建成的248兆瓦 Beaver Creek 风电项目，可共用输电基础设施。PSE 高级副总裁兼首席开发官 Craig Pospisil 表示，该项目是公司清洁能源战略的关键组成部分。Stillwater County 专员 Roger Webb 称，项目将为当地带来建筑就业、税收和新的经济活动。
Puget Sound Energy Breaks Ground on 130-Megawatt Battle Butte Solar Project in Montana
Washington-state utility Puget Sound Energy (PSE) announced on Oct. 15 that it has broken ground on the Battle Butte solar project near Rapelje in Stillwater County, south-central Montana. The 130-megawatt solar farm, covering about 1,400 acres, is expected to power 20,000 homes and create about 250 construction jobs. Construction starts this fall, with completion expected by mid-2028.
The project is part of the clean-energy portfolio PSE is building to comply with Washington's Clean Energy Transformation Act and cut fossil-fuel generation. It sits next to the company's 248-megawatt Beaver Creek wind project and can share transmission infrastructure. Craig Pospisil, PSE's senior vice president and chief development officer, called the project a key part of the company's clean-energy strategy. Stillwater County Commissioner Roger Webb said it will bring construction jobs, tax revenue and new economic activity to the area.
