Thermal energy storage company Ice Energy has a 25.6 MWh utility-scale energy storage program in the Southern California Edison (SCE) utility district. It’s been in operation for five years and is spread out across 100 customer sites. It’s part of the Southern California Virtual Power Plant (“VPP”) Thermal Storage Project. … [continued]
A primer on refrigerants and their impacts on climate change. Refrigerants are everywhere. They’re in our air conditioners and heat pumps, in our fridges — even in our cars! Yet, despite this ubiquity, refrigerants are an oft-neglected subject within electrification strategies despite their major contribution to the greenhouse effect. Perhaps … [continued]

Energy storage has grown significantly over the last ten years, particularly because of the Tesla Powerwall, Powerpack, and Megapack battery systems, the latter being for commercial applications. There is another viable commercial option, though it receives less attention: thermal energy storage. The Beverly Hilton and The Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills … [continued]
