THE SOLUTION TO
VOLATILE PEAKS

When the Canadian government passed a regulation prohibiting fossil fuel-burning furnaces from homes in Québec, one state-owned utility faced a unique problem: the existing grid could not support the peaks that would occur due to a rapid increase in electrically-heated homes.

The solution? Steffes ETS.

Steffes partnered with the utility to develop the Serenity forced air furnace. This ETS heating system is capable of drawing power from the grid during off-peak periods, allowing the utility to better manage grid capacity.

LOAD MANAGEMENT
MATTERS

One cooperative in the Northeast United States began promoting Steffes ETS products to its customers in the late 1980s. The venture started with simple room heaters designed to store heat during low-demand hours at night and release it during the day, essentially increasing customers' comfort while stabilizing energy peaks and valleys.

Over the years, the co-op has integrated Steffes ETS whole-home furnaces into their strategy. Today, the cooperative can manage (or "turn off") 7 megawatts of ETS heating during peak times.

CONTROLLED
FLEXIBILITY

What makes Electric Thermal Storage (ETS) technology an ideal load management tool for power providers? Its operational flexibility.

ETS allows utilities to actively shape and manage energy demand, optimizing existing grid capacity. By drawing power during set times—often when demand is low—ETS helps balance peaks and valleys, creating a more efficient and reliable energy system.
