The webinar will discuss the challenges facing rural electric cooperatives across the U.S., innovative technologies and their potential grid impacts, and the policy outlook for implementing solutions.
Geothermal heating and cooling technologies can reduce peak electricity demand, increase resilience, and lower ratepayer energy bills. By 2050, the technical potentiali for geothermal heating and cooling systems equates to up to ~80 million homes (~200 million refrigeration tonsii) across residential and commercial buildings in the United States; however, actual
INTRODUCTION The third session in the Geothermal Heating and Cooling Webinar Series focused on the skilled workforce at the heart of the geothermal industry—especially the tradespeople who drill, install, and maintain systems nationwide. The webinar brought together leaders from across the industry to explore workforce development, skill transfer from adjacent
INTRODUCTION The second episode in the Geothermal Heating and Cooling Webinar Series examined how geothermal systems strengthen grid resilience, reduce utility costs, and modernize infrastructure through strategic utility partnerships. The discussion focused on thermal energy networks, peak load management, avoided infrastructure investments, and cooperative-driven innovations—all critical components in decarbonizing and
INTRODUCTION The first webinar in the Geothermal Heating and Cooling Webinar Series convened four leaders across the installation, engineering, manufacturing, and policy spectrum to discuss the real-world value of geothermal heating and cooling. With a focus on cost savings, grid resilience, and domestic job creation, the session offered a practical
Did you know that a Geothermal Heating and Cooling (GeoHC) installation in your service territory not only saves the member/consumer money each month, but also gives multiple savings and benefits to the utility itself? GeoHC technology is uniquely suited to help meet many of the challenges facing electric utilities today.
Con Edison has developed the Chelsea Utility Thermal Energy Network (UTEN) pilot to provide fossil fuel-free heating, cooling, and domestic hot water for three New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) buildings in Manhattan. The project captures waste heat from a nearby commercial building at 85 10th Avenue and distributes it
Framingham, Massachusetts, is home to the nation’s first utility-owned geothermal network. The project began with HEET’s “gas-to-geo” concept and became an Eversource demonstration project approved through the Massachusetts Department of Public Utilities. The network connects about 140 customers and demonstrates how gas utilities can use existing pipe, street, workforce, and
