Industrial refrigeration is one of the most energy-intensive end uses per cubic foot in commercial and industrial facilities. From corner store freezers to massive cold storage warehouses, keeping products cold consumes enormous amounts of electricity and drives peak demand on the grid. For facility owners and operators, refrigeration is a major operating expense. For utilities, it represents a significant and often inflexible load on the grid.
Discover how Refrigeration Thermal Energy Storage (RTES), paired with advanced controls, is changing this sector by introducing much-needed operational flexibility to these traditionally rigid loads.
Peak Demand Management: Learn how RTES offers a powerful way to reduce or shift peak demand in refrigerated facilities, moving consumption away from critical periods while maintaining reliable performance.
Enhanced Resilience: Beyond demand management, these systems enhance overall resilience in facilities.
Actionable Program Framework: Preview a program framework for integrating RTES into Minnesota Energy Conservation and Optimization (ECO) Programs; a practical blueprint for integrating this technology into existing utility offerings.
Stakeholder Insights: The presentation will also summarize essential lessons learned from stakeholder outreach, ensuring that new programs are designed based on real-world feedback.
Don't miss this opportunity to gain the critical data and proven frameworks necessary to effectively manage the significant and inflexible load presented by industrial refrigeration.
Gain access to the project's economic analysis of RTES systems and key lessons learned from stakeholder outreach and see the proposed program framework for integrating RTES into Minnesota Energy Conservation and Optimization (ECO) Programs.

Conservation Applied Research and Development (CARD) projects aim to uncover new technologies and strategies to maximize energy savings, enhance energy conservation programs, and document CO2 reductions. The results from CARD research provide utilities with timely information to improve energy-efficiency program designs within their Energy Conservation and Optimization (ECO) portfolios. Previous CARD webinars are available online.
For more information on the CARD program including recent research reports, articles and factsheets, visit the Applied Research and Development webpage.
