🥳 Kick off ‘25 with this ⚡ @volts.wtf podcast interview with @zeynebmagavi.bsky.social of HEET & Eric Bosworth of Eversource Energy about how #GeothermalEnergyNetworks and other #ThermalEnergyNetworks are advancing #BuildingDecarb by delivering #NeighborhoodScale clean heat & cooling! #EnergySky
Today on Volts: thermal energy networks are the new hotness! Replacing fossil gas pipes & furnaces with water pipes & heat pumps was a niche idea not long ago. Now the first pilot is completed & dozens more are on the way. This is how natgas companies can survive: become thermal energy companies.
Thermal energy networks are the next big thing
Could gas utilities transform into "thermal utilities"? Here's how networked heat pumps could give them a whole new business model instead of going extinct.

Let's pass # NYHEAT this year and enable utilities to redirect their investments in aging methane gas pipelines to #ThermalEnergyNetworks and other types of #Neighborhoodscale #BuildingDecarb upgrades that will deliver clean heating and cooling to New Yorkers!
We celebrate Governor Kathy Hochul's commitment to significant funding for #BuildingDecarb, including #ThermalEnergyNetworks, in her #SOTS, and we urge her to prioritize #NYHEAT in her Exec Budget, to lower costs for families & advance neighborhood-scale decarb. #EnergySky bit.ly/3PCEosO
