Heat Pump It Up

Using Incentives, Unleashing Utilities

“Most scenarios depend in some way on electric heating options to get the world to net zero emissions by 2050.”

USEA State of the Energy Industry Forum: Karen Harbert

“Let’s talk about gas stoves. It’s not causing you asthma. Unfortunately, there are activist groups cherry picking studies that have done no testing, trying to fearmonger and tell you that you were doing wrong by your family. They’re ignoring studies that have done the testing and ignoring the federal government task force that has found no causation.”

“December 23, 24. In nine states there were rolling blackouts. We couldn’t get gas to the plants. All the peakers were running on oil those days, and we still had blackouts. NERC said we have this, disorderly retirement of generating assets in this country putting us at greater risk. My membership is concerned. We’re trying to be a voice of reason.”

Unlocking the Value of Electricity Diplomacy

Connecting Worlds for a Brighter Future

“If you look at the grid in particular, it’s a symphony of physics. While storage offers promise, the reality is we still work with the same physics problem we always have. But now we’re trying to change supply, add load, introduce new technologies. This whole harmonization is getting more complicated and probably not as well orchestrated as it needs to be.”

New York PSC: Rory Christian

Chair

“We’re looking at rate design measures, with the goal of establishing rates for electric use that encourage electrification and do not overburden customers as they transition fuels.”

USEA State of the Energy Industry Forum: Arshad Mansoor

EPRI

“Hydrogen, biofuels, these are all opportunities that we have. Our innovation is focusing on, how do we accelerate this technology innovation? So that all the promises all the corporations have made for net zero by 2050, which is twenty-seven years from now, we can meet.”
