Unleashing the magic of heat pumps
Catalyst with Shayle Kann
Heat Pump Adoption for Heating and Cool Climates at Scale
In a cold climate like up here in Maine, what it looks like with heat pump technology that if you have a really, really cold snap in the middle of the winter. What this might do in cold climate environments is basically shift peak demand from the summer to the winter and increase the peak by about 3X. For a typical US household, it means adding new peak load to that home that's equivalent to about two electric vehicles that are plugged into level two chargers during those cold periods. But I think it is worth noting that the goal here is not necessarily pure full electrification. The goal is dramatic levels of decarbonization, of which electrification is probably going to be a big
