Welcome to the October Energy Storage Newsletter. New in this month's round-up are a couple important pieces of legislation for thermal energy storage including a Federal tax credit and tax deduction. Let your elected leaders know you support the legislation.
Also, in case you haven't heard, ice tanks have been popping up everywhere, such as on Netflix Marvel Defenders fight scene Season 1, Episode 8 (start around 21:20 mark), on PBS Ask This Old House (Catch a sneak peak of of residential thermal energy storage from CALMAC and Multiaqua at the 2:10 mark) and on HVAC Tutor, a teaching simulator breaks down the operation of a thermal storage plant that gave a facility over 90% cost savings.
