Utilities and Program Partners

Thermal Energy HQ works with utilities, program administrators, and energy organizations evaluating thermal storage, electrification, and load-flexibility strategies across commercial, institutional, and multifamily applications.

Who This Is For

Built for Utilities, Administrators, and Program Teams

We work with organizations evaluating thermal storage in the context of electrification, energy efficiency, demand management, and customer-side thermal system upgrades.

Program value

Support Program Objectives

Thermal storage can help utilities and program teams address multiple priorities at once, from load shifting and electrification to customer-side efficiency improvements and long-term system flexibility.

Load
Shifting

Shift thermal loads to lower-demand periods to reduce strain on the grid and improve operational flexibility.

Renewable Integration

Align between variable generation and building thermal demand through flexible storage strategies.

Peak
Reduction

Reduce peak demand exposure by storing thermal energy when conditions.

Incentive Alignment

Create stronger pathways for efficiency, electrification, and demand-management.

How Thermal Storage Connects To Utility and Program Goals

Thermal Energy HQ systems support grid-aware thermal strategies by helping shift energy use, reduce peak thermal loads, and improve alignment between customer demand and broader program objectives.

System deployment

Deploy thermal storage at the customer or facility level where it can improve operational flexibility and reduce peak thermal demand.

Demand event response

Use stored thermal capacity to reduce reliance on high-demand operating periods and better align with peak-management strategies.

Monitoring and visibility

Track system performance, operating patterns, and program-relevant outcomes through clearer reporting and project-level visibility.

Reporting support

Support internal review, pilot evaluation, or incentive pathways with documentation around operating impact.

NYC market spotlight

Con Edison Incentives are Creating a Strong Path for Electrification

Con Edison’s 2026 incentive programs support a system-based retrofit approach across New York City, especially where heat pumps, envelope upgrades, and multifamily improvements are planned together. For eligible projects, incentives may cover up to 50% of project cost, with additional opportunities available in Southeast Queens.

Heat pumps are a core electrification measure

Con Edison positions air-source heat pumps as an efficient all-electric solution for space heating, cooling, and water heating, with meaningful incentive pathways for qualifying projects.

Bundled upgrades can improve outcomes

Pairing heat pumps with building envelope improvements can reduce loads, improve comfort, strengthen project economics, and support smarter system sizing.

Southeast Queens offers incentive upside

Eligible customers in Southeast Queens may access neighborhood incentives on top of standard Con Edison programs, creating even stronger retrofit potential in targeted areas.

Program perspective

Why the Con Edison Market Matters

Our team supports contractors through the full project cycle, helping reduce friction between design intent and field execution. We focus on practical coordination, technical clarity, and responsive support that helps keep projects moving.

Strong incentive pathways for electrification

Program materials position heat pumps as a core electrification technology and support bundled pathways for space heating, hot-water electrification, and envelope-related improvements in eligible projects.

Envelope and heat pump work reinforce each other

Envelope improvements can reduce heating and cooling loads, improve comfort, and support more effective system sizing. That creates a stronger case for pairing load reduction with electrification instead of treating them as separate upgrades.

Multifamily is a major opportunity for the utility

Program pathways for buildings with 5 or more units create a clear framework for common-area improvements, building electrification, and enhanced support for qualifying affordable housing properties.

Incentives are meaningful, but process matters

Eligibility, pre-approval, notice to proceed, post-install verification, and final review all matter. The opportunity is strongest when the project scope is packaged correctly from the start.
