Net Zero or Net Zero Ready electrified homes with heat pumps CAN function properly in extreme cold! It's great to see another example of this 👍

Promoting Resilience with Ambient Energy This Duke Energy video (https://lnkd.in/dTjwN48T) from Florida reminds us that our future all-renewable grid will also be susceptible to natural disasters. Power outages currently average 5.5 hours per year per household in the US, with some events lasting days or weeks. The frequency and severity of storms are increasing. The thermal time constant of the Earth dictates that, even if we stopped all fossil fuel combustion now, this trend would continue for decades. One of the most basic functions of a home is to keep us warm and dry. Will your house remain comfortable indoors without electricity? Because they use alternative ambient energy sources, passive solar heating and passive cooling systems work throughout a power outage.

This an insightful opinion piece by Michael E. Webber in today's The New York Times. "Shareholder pressure on electric utilities has prioritized profits over maintenance that can help reduce wildfire risk. This deferred maintenance over the decades means old frail utility poles are more likely to fall and outdated, weakened wires are more apt to snap during storms." "Worst of all, it seems the nation is still in deep denial about climate change. A hotter, drier climate in the Mountain West means that our abundant forests and grasslands are a tinderbox waiting to ignite." #electricity #energy #energytransition #energypolicy #infrastructure #transmission #distribution

Very thoughtful assessment

A new wave of projects is linking buildings together in so-called thermal energy networks. These #climate-friendly heating-and-cooling systems are drawing support from states, #cities, utilities and developers. #clean #infrastructure

There may be big savings buried in your backyard. With a Carrier® geothermal home comfort system, increased energy efficiency may be waiting just below the surface. Learn more: https://bit.ly/3Vcwetk

Advance Reconector to increase existing transmission compactity is a must. The 2500 companies need to get onboard...and do what Texas and Belgium have started. States and Local Zoning need to allow home such as Boxable which go up in hours and are hurricane and high wind proof that are self sustainable with their own solar and Grey water system..and reduce the grid pressure for electricity. This would also help with housing density and homelessness. https://lnkd.in/esH2hbvx

🌎🌟 Rochester, Minnesota, is tapping into the power beneath our feet with groundwater geothermal systems that promise efficient heating and cooling 🌡️🔄. The city hall is leading by example, with just two wells harnessing the Earth's constant low-50-degree temps to score stellar COPs of 4 to 5! 🎉💦 Unlike traditional air-source units that falter in freezing weather, these geothermal wonders shine, slashing costs and helping our environment 🌿💰. They're not just powerful; they're compact too, which could open doors for geothermal energy on a larger scale 🚪🔑. Rochester is already dreaming big, with plans to go green advancing one municipal building at a time. 🏢🍃 And thanks to the Inflation Reduction Act's juicy tax credits 💸📘, these systems are even more enticing, making back their installation bucks with low running costs. As we chart a course towards a clean energy horizon, groundwater geothermal systems beckon as a beacon for towns and businesses eager to trim emissions and pinch pennies 💚🔋. Curious minds want to know: How do you see these systems reshaping our energy strategies, especially where the ground smiles upon us? 🌐🔧 Your insights are gold—share them below! #SustainableEnergy #Geothermal #Innovation

As the devastating Helene storm continues to ravage the Southeast, more than 2.1 million power customers across South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, Florida, and Virginia remain without power. According to CNN, the infrastructure repairs must precede large-scale power restoration efforts.  The vulnerability of the current energy grid is more evident than ever. Extreme weather events are becoming more frequent, and businesses need reliable, sustainable energy solutions to stay resilient. At TROES, we’re committed to helping businesses manage these challenges with our advanced Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) and microgrid solutions. We help ensure continuous operations and support a more sustainable energy future by providing a reliable power source during grid disruptions. Learn more about how TROES can help businesses build long-term energy resilience.

Whichever party is elected this Thursday, we hope to see recognition of the role decentralised energy plays in both enabling decarbonisation of heat for buildings and in enhancing energy security. ✅ We would like to see the rapid adoption of heat network zoning and the establishment of a favourable investment environment for the development of new heat networks. ✅ #Durotan #generalelection #districtheating #districtenergy #decarbonisation #netzero #renewableenergy #futureenergy #heatnetwork #heatnetworkzoning
