THE VALUE OF ELECTRIC THERMAL STORAGE (ETS) AND OFF-PEAK ENERGY
In the near future, a much higher percentage of our electricity will come from intermittent wind and solar energy resources. Our households will use and store energy when its most plentiful and is priced most economically. When it comes to space and water heating, that future is now! The innovative products and rate programs we offer can help you make the most of off-peak and stored energy and provide the comfort, convenience and affordability you need.
