Pacificorp同意支付5.75亿美元,解决联邦关于其设备于2020年和2022年在俄勒冈州和加利福尼亚州造成六起野火的索赔,这两起火灾烧毁了29万多英亩土地,造成多人死亡。 PacifiCorp has agreed to pay $575 million to settle federal claims that its equipment caused six wildfires in Oregon and California in 2020 and 2022, which burned over 290,000 acres and led to multiple deaths. 该解决方案将为土地恢复提供资金,并偿还政府的消防费,因为消防费目前消耗了美国林业局年度预算的一半以上。 The settlement will fund land restoration and reimburse the government for firefighting costs, which now consume over half of the U.S. Forest Service’s annual budget. 这笔付款是PacifiCorp公司在野火相关定居点已支付的20多亿美元的一部分。 This payment is part of more than $2 billion in wildfire-related settlements PacifiCorp has made. 该公司在俄勒冈州正面临诉讼,定于2026年和2027年审理一千多起案件,目前正在对先前陪审团的裁决提出上诉。 The company faces ongoing litigation in Oregon, with over a thousand cases scheduled for trial in 2026 and 2027, and is appealing previous jury verdicts. 为了改善金融稳定,PacifiCorp计划将其华盛顿州能源资产出售给Portland General Electric,价值19亿美元。 To improve financial stability, PacifiCorp plans to sell its Washington state energy assets to Portland General Electric for $1.9 billion.
