US DoE Energy Information Agency Most Recent Data
Heating, Cooling, and Hot Water demands are
47.8 of 71.3 total MMBtu per household per year.
67% of all household energy is THERMAL
US DoE Energy Information Agency Most Recent Data
If 67% of Texas Household energy is thermal…
and only ¼ of that is electric air conditioning…
then,
To what?
If we are going to Electrify… …let’s make sure it’s Beneficial Electrification
Uses Renewable Energy Improves Utility Load Factor (not a duck breeder) Economically practical (ROI) Extreme Efficiency High Climate Resilience Minimize GWP Long Life Cycle Not weather dependent Delivers highest level consumer benefits
A geothermal heat pump system meetsall these criteria
A non-intermittent renewable!
Uses Renewable Energy
Improves Utility Load Factor (not a duck breeder)
Economically practical (ROI)
Extreme Efficiency
High Climate Resilience
Minimize GWP
Long Life Cycle
Not weather dependent
Delivers highest level consumer benefits
So… how about some data?
Let’s take a look at what’s actually going on every 10 seconds.
Here’s a very small snippet of recent activity in the geothermal heat pump world.
Let’s zoom in on Texas.
There are many thousands of GHPs in Texas. These are just a few newer ones.
Here is a “Light User” in East Texas
Three ton Inverter high efficiency system
Forty-five cents per day for all heating, cooling, and hot water.
Here is a “Medium/Heavy User right here in San Antonio”
Five ton basic efficiency system
$1.89 per day for all heating, cooling, and hot water.
And a “Heavy User” here in San Antonio also
Five ton Inverter high efficiency system
Eighty-one cents per day for all heating, cooling, and hot water.
Electrification WithGeothermal Heat Pumps
• Provides 2/3 of all household energy demands.• Delivers thermal energy at 300 – 600% efficiency.
Proposing A Common Sense Solution
Utility Owned Thermal Grids:• Proven business model and the key to mass deployment• 0% Capital is available to utilities• Easements are simple• Asset performs for over 100 years• High ROI recurring revenue to utility through On-Bill “Financing”• Renewable Energy tariffs may be added to rate base in many
cases• Homeowner savings:payment ratio over 2• Establishes long term fuel certainty for all stakeholders
