Tuesday August 25th, 2009 - Since 2005, REU has successfully installed eight small scale thermal energy storage (TES) systems, Ice Energy – Ice Bear units, at various customer sites throughout our service territory. The use of TES systems to shift costly, on-peak demand for air conditioning to off-peak hours has proven to be a cost-effective load shifting resource for REU. The Redding City Council recently authorized REU to broaden its reach with “ice” approving the Utility’s purchase of 50 more Ice Bear units. To learn more about Ice Energy’s Ice Bear units, REU encourages you to watch the REU/Ice Energy video.
