What is thermal storage, and why is it important?

As part of Vicinity’s electrification plan, we plan to install molten salt or molten silica thermal batteries, which are an excellent means of storing heat. This technology will allow us to procure renewable electrons when prices are low (typically overnight), produce...

What are the benefits of electrifying district energy?

The benefits of electrification are numerous.  No expensive retrofits – We eliminate the challenge of converting individual buildings. This solution is faster, more cost-competitive, and less capital intensive than building retrofits under mandates. Existing...

Is district energy safe?

Yes. Unlike onsite generation – which intrinsically involves onsite combustion as part of the energy generation process – district energy is a safer alternative. With district energy, thermal energy is produced at a central facility and distributed to individual...

What are the benefits of district energy systems?

District energy provided multiple advantages: Freedom from asset ownership and the costs associated with maintenance Wholesale energy pricing and stability Efficient energy delivery Greater reliability and redundancy in energy supply Reduced carbon footprint Learn...
