PG&E 公司周三表示,拟议中的政府接管其旧金山电力配电网将耗资 225 亿美元,是该市 4 月份文件中引用的 34 亿美元的六倍多。
PG&E Corp said on Wednesday a proposed government takeover of its San Francisco electric distribution grid would cost $22.5 billion, more than six times the $3.4 billion cited by the city in an April filing.
旧金山市县提议接管 PG&E 的本地电力配电网,理由是长期节省成本、提高供电可靠性和负担能力,监管机构目前正在权衡资产价值以及将其从公用事业更广泛电网中分离的成本。
The City and County of San Francisco has proposed to take over PG&E's local electric distribution network citing long-term cost savings, service reliability and affordability, with regulators currently weighing the value of the assets and the cost of separating them from the utility's broader grid.
PG&E 将其旧金山资产估值为 139 亿美元,并表示分离和业务损失成本将达 86 亿美元。“政府接管我们的电网并非旧金山客户的正确解决方案,”该公用事业公司首席执行官 Patti Poppe 表示,并补充称其文件显示接管在财务上对客户讲不通。PG&E 表示,分离将需要一座替代变电站,很可能位于圣马特奥县,还需要一个新的服务中心以及重新配置或新建输电线路,以维持城外客户的供电。
该公司称,城市还低估了 PG&E 地下电网的价值,并将其估算中排除了 2000 多处房地产权益——包括地役权和许可证。PG&E 补充称,过去十年已在旧金山电网投资 30 亿美元,并计划在未来五年再投资近 20 亿美元。加州监管机构已裁定,城市必须支付“假设买家可能为资产支付的最高价值”。加州公用事业委员会未立即回应置评请求。
旧金山公用事业委员会发言人 Nancy Crowley 表示,旧金山约占 PG&E 电力需求的 5%,而该公用事业公司的整个电力系统价值约 600 亿美元。
PG&E valued its San Francisco assets at $13.9 billion and said separation and business-loss costs would stand at $8.6 billion "A government takeover of our grid is not the right solution for our San Francisco customers," said the utility's CEO Patti Poppe, adding that its filing showed a takeover did not make financial sense for customers PG&E said a separation would require a replacement substation, likely in San Mateo County, a new service center and reconfigured or new power lines to maintain service for customers outside the city The city had also undervalued PG&E's underground power network and excluded more than 2,000 real-estate interests — including easements and licences — from its estimate, the company said PG&E has invested $3 billion in San Francisco's grid over the past decade and plans nearly $2 billion more over the next five years, it added California regulators have already ruled that the city must pay "the highest value" a hypothetical buyer might pay for the assets The California Public Utilities Commission did not immediately respond to a request for comment San Francisco accounts for about 5% of PG&E's electricity demand, while the utility's entire electric system is worth about $60 billion, said Nancy Crowley, spokesperson for the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission
