企业移动性和 Xcel能源 发布了一项研究的结果,与 雅可布,美国未来的电力需求.S. 机场和对其生态系统有贡献的行业.
以两个机场为例, the study shows there is a narrowing window of opportunity to build the large-scale infrastructure needed to support electrification of future operational, 货物及旅客需求. With the transition to electric vehicles (EVs) underway across North America 和 the pace of anticipated growth, 时间是采取积极措施的关键. This study underscores the need for collaboration 和 partnership across 机场, 公用事业公司, 联邦和州监管机构, policy leaders to implement essential upgrades to 机场’ power infrastructure.
为什么这很重要?? 机场是主要的经济驱动力, contributing to more than 7% of the nation’s gross domestic product in 2023, 根据 北美国际机场协会, they will continue to drive economic growth as air travel is expected to grow significantly over the next two decades.
企业移动, 全球领先的移动出行服务提供商, 和Xcel能源公司, 高效能源领域的国家领导者, found that by 2050 two example 机场 in the states Xcel能源 serves could require nearly five times the electric power currently used to be fully electrified. In light of the complexity 和 planning requirements of large capacity investments for critical infrastructure, the study quantifies the urgency to design 和 build the grid in due time for growth, 稳定性和弹性.
“The best path to a sustainable mobility future is one that maintains a long-term perspective 和 puts the customer at the center of the transition,“企业移动战略计划高级副总裁 丹·韦塞尔 说. "This study is helping us keep the customer front 和 center while making clear that immediate, cross-industry collaboration is needed to accurately assess long-term power needs 和 develop cost-effective, 可扩展的基础设施解决方案.”
雅可布, 全球领先的专业服务公司, 解读来自50多个利益相关者(包括航空公司)的意见, 公用事业公司, 地面运输, 货物和第三方供应商 明尼阿波利斯-圣保罗国际机场 和 丹佛国际机场 — to create a comprehensive view of the cross-industry power needs required to meet future electrification targets.
