Our new community investments in Virginia support local jobs and expand energy affordability.

我们在弗吉尼亚州的新社区投资旨在支持当地就业并提升能源可负担性。

Virginia has been a home for Google for more than a decade, with an office in Reston and data centers in Loudoun and Prince William Counties. Today, we’re deepening our commitment to the Commonwealth with new community investments that will support thousands of local jobs, prepare the next-generation workforce and expand energy affordability. 十多年来，弗吉尼亚州一直是谷歌的家园，我们在雷斯顿（Reston）设有办事处，并在劳登县（Loudoun）和威廉王子县（Prince William）设有数据中心。今天，我们通过新的社区投资进一步深化对该州的承诺，这些投资将支持数以千计的当地就业岗位，培养下一代劳动力，并提升能源的可负担性。

To prepare Virginians for skilled jobs created by infrastructure growth across the state, we’re funding the electrical training ALLIANCE (etA) to support local electrical apprenticeship training facilities. With this funding, they aim to increase training capacity to support an additional 2,741 apprentices by 2030. This builds on our existing local support and is part of a national commitment from Google.org to prepare over 300,000 skilled tradespeople. 为了帮助弗吉尼亚州民众胜任全州基础设施增长所带来的技术岗位，我们正在资助电气培训联盟（electrical training ALLIANCE, etA），以支持当地的电气学徒培训设施。通过这笔资金，他们计划在 2030 年前提高培训能力，额外支持 2,741 名学徒。此举建立在我们现有的本地支持基础上，也是 Google.org 培养超过 30 万名技术工人的全国性承诺的一部分。

As we responsibly build data centers in Virginia, we have invested in over 500 megawatts of new energy capacity, collaborating with partners to bring more power to the grid. To support energy affordability at the local level, we’re also launching a $15 million Energy Impact Fund. This will help drive down monthly utility bills for Virginians by funding critical community projects like home repairs, weatherization and energy-efficiency upgrades. 在负责任地建设弗吉尼亚州数据中心的同时，我们已投资超过 500 兆瓦的新能源容量，并与合作伙伴协作，为电网输送更多电力。为了在地方层面支持能源可负担性，我们还启动了一项 1,500 万美元的“能源影响基金”（Energy Impact Fund）。该基金将通过资助房屋维修、防风雨改造和能效升级等关键社区项目，帮助弗吉尼亚州民众降低每月的公用事业账单支出。
