Last week, the RTC hosted two breakfast events in Washington, DC: 🔋 Charged Up: Changes Needed to Reap the Benefits of Thermal Energy Storage, co-hosted with Long Duration Energy Storage Council (LDES Council) 💡 Electrifying American Manufacturing: Fostering Industry, Utility, and PUC Collaboration These sessions featured in-depth discussions on the barriers to industrial #electrification with technologies like thermal batteries and heat pumps, and identified pathways for policymakers, regulators, and utilities to support projects while ensuring benefits for end users and the #grid. Key takeaways include: ⚡ Electrified thermal technologies, such as industrial heat pumps and thermal batteries, are innovative and efficient solutions for industry. ⚡ Access to real-time electricity pricing can support widespread electrification by increasing cost parity with fossil gas and enabling flexible loads to benefit the grid. ⚡ To support implementation of these technologies and realize their benefits, utilities and regulators must consider them in planning and tariff designs.
