"Both gas and electric energy systems are becoming increasingly complex, with more dynamic supply and demand-side market forces instigating a profound evolution in how our power is sourced, priced and delivered. Change has come quicker to the electric side, but recently we have begun to see how the gas delivery system used to heat and cool homes and businesses is primed for change, and it should challenge the business-as-usual strategies currently used to regulate these essential services for ratepayers across the country." Read my op-ed in UtilityDive with Brad Cebulko on the new hottest thing in utility regulation (at least in my opinion): gas planning! https://lnkd.in/gGaUxpyc

Wondrwall Group, a U.K. technology company, has launched an AI-enabled #propane (R290) residential air source heat pump on the U.K. market, working in partnership with Daikin Air Conditioning UK, a subsidiary of Daikin Europe. Integrating the Daikin R290 unit with the company’s AI-powered Home Energy Management System (HEMS) cuts home energy heating bills by up to 80% compared to similar homes with standalone heat pumps, according to Wondrwall. 👉 Read more: https://lnkd.in/eYWytizZ #GoNatRefs #NaturalRefrigerants #R290 #HeatPumps Sign up to our NaturalRefrigerants.com weekly newsletter https://lnkd.in/dBj2FWvR

https://lnkd.in/e9S_pdfT Want to learn more about the intersection of VPPs and IRA Home Energy Rebates? Under a well-structured program, home energy rebates can provide a means for customers adopting heat pumps and other electrification technologies to support the evolution of VPPs while making investments go farther, increasing bill savings, and supporting the grid by reducing building energy use during times of peak grid demand. Join the Flex Coalition and RMI's VP3 Thursday, June 13 for our webinar: Saving Money and Supporting the Grid: How IRA Home Energy Rebates Enable Virtual Power Plants. We have a great group of speakers: Commissioners Andrew McAllister and Stacey Paradis, Carmen Best, Kara Saul Rinaldi, and Avery McEvoy, EIT.

Arizona Launches Federal Home Energy Rebates Program To Boost Energy Efficiency As part of President Biden’s Investing in America agenda, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has announced the launch of Arizona’s first federal Home Energy Rebates program, supported by the Inflation Reduction Act. Arizona is now the second state to implement the Home Electrification and Appliance Rebates (HEAR) portion of the program, aimed at assisting low- and middle-income households with energy efficiency upgrades. The initiative, which is a key component of the Biden-Harris Administration’s $8.8 billion nationwide effort, is designed to reduce energy costs and increase home efficiency by making it more affordable to install energy-saving measures such as heat […] Read the full story here: https://lnkd.in/dEV6vg3u #solarenergy #alternativeenergy #solarpv #pvsolar #photovoltaic #cleanenergy #cleantech #climatechange #arizona #renewableenergy #solarenergy #u.s.departmentofenergy #usa

Check out Advanced Energy United and Strategen’s opinion piece, “Gas Utility Planning Processes Should Be More Like Their #Electric Utility Counterparts,” featured in Utility Dive!👏Sarah Steinberg and Brad Cebulko make the case that #energy customers deserve an inclusive and multi-faceted review process to ensure that utility investment programs are aligned to current and future system needs and support ratepayer needs. According to the op-ed, this involves a thorough evaluation of future risks, bill impacts, and more cost-effective alternatives to traditional pipeline services, all done under #regulatory and public examination.👉Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gJyt6z-j   #EnergyTransition #electrification

Thermal Energy Storage (TES) - Batteries strong enough to heat or cool your entire building. Intrigued? Trane Systems Sales Leader for Minnesota, Tony Stark, does an excellent job summarizing the sustainable and financial potential of Thermal Energy Storage tanks in this article. For those looking for a quick palatable soundbite, Tony nails it in the opening paragraph: "Imagine a bank of batteries so powerful it can cool or heat your entire building with stored energy. You could store energy from clean energy sources, like solar and wind, and use it anytime. You could buy energy when rates are lower for use during expensive peak periods. You could even recapture waste heat energy from your building when loads don’t balance. That’s the power of Thermal Energy Storage (TES)."
