US DoE Energy Information Agency Most Recent Data

Heating, Cooling, and Hot Water demands are

47.8 of 71.3 total MMBtu per household per year.

67% of all household energy is THERMAL

US DoE Energy Information Agency Most Recent Data

If 67% of Texas Household energy is thermal…

and only ¼ of that is electric air conditioning…

then,

To what?

If we are going to Electrify… …let’s make sure it’s Beneficial Electrification

Uses Renewable Energy Improves Utility Load Factor (not a duck breeder) Economically practical (ROI) Extreme Efficiency High Climate Resilience Minimize GWP Long Life Cycle Not weather dependent Delivers highest level consumer benefits

A geothermal heat pump system meetsall these criteria

A non-intermittent renewable!

Uses Renewable Energy

Improves Utility Load Factor (not a duck breeder)

Extreme Efficiency

High Climate Resilience

Minimize GWP

Long Life Cycle

Not weather dependent

Delivers highest level consumer benefits

So… how about some data?

Let’s take a look at what’s actually going on every 10 seconds.

Here’s a very small snippet of recent activity in the geothermal heat pump world.

Let’s zoom in on Texas.

There are many thousands of GHPs in Texas. These are just a few newer ones.

Here is a “Light User” in East Texas

Three ton Inverter high efficiency system

Forty-five cents per day for all heating, cooling, and hot water.

Here is a “Medium/Heavy User right here in San Antonio”

Five ton basic efficiency system

$1.89 per day for all heating, cooling, and hot water.

And a “Heavy User” here in San Antonio also

Five ton Inverter high efficiency system

Eighty-one cents per day for all heating, cooling, and hot water.

Electrification WithGeothermal Heat Pumps

• Provides 2/3 of all household energy demands.• Delivers thermal energy at 300 – 600% efficiency.

Proposing A Common Sense Solution

Utility Owned Thermal Grids:• Proven business model and the key to mass deployment• 0% Capital is available to utilities• Easements are simple• Asset performs for over 100 years• High ROI recurring revenue to utility through On-Bill “Financing”• Renewable Energy tariffs may be added to rate base in many

cases• Homeowner savings:payment ratio over 2• Establishes long term fuel certainty for all stakeholders
