Flexible Electrification: Heat Pump Water Heaters

Thursday, April 13, 2023 | 2:30 to 3:30 pm ET
Featuring: Shifted Energy and Hawai'i Energy

Heat pump water heaters ("HPWH") are significantly more efficient than electric resistance water heaters (“ERWH”), and they’re the future!

From IRA funding and electrification initiatives to simply figuring out how to address the customer experience, we forecast a dramatic increase in HPWH deployments during the next decade. While these water heaters are more efficient than gas and traditional ERWH (2-3x according to DOE), they’re still the thermal batteries that we’ve grown to know and love. And they will still represent a material share of home energy consumption.

The Shifted Energy team and Hawai'i Energy worked together to address two questions:
1) Can we actually get HPWHs into LMI communities? and
2) Could HPWHs serve as a similar controllable load asset in every home?

Join us to find out more about this opportunity, and how it can be realized in Hawai'i and beyond.

How Dialogue Works. When you register for a Load Management Dialogue, you are welcome to submit a comment or question for the speakers in advance. After brief introductions, the featured speakers will make a short presentation followed by a moderated audience Q&A discussion. Following each Dialogue, both the presentation slides and a recording will be added to PLMA's Load Management Resource Center, for access by all PLMA stakeholders. You are welcome to return to the Load Management Resource Center anytime to watch PLMA Dialogues following their broadcast date.
