“Think of battery ingredients and lithium, cadmium and nickel come to mind. Now think again. What about salt, air, bricks, and hand-warmer gel? In our electricity-hungry future they’re set to provide heat to manufacturers who need it, and to help keep the lights on at times when energy is short.”

Smart grids connect generation, consumption, and storage – turning energy planning into a strategic discipline. Power-to-heat and thermal storage technologies show how industrial companies can combine flexibility with supply security.
Demand side management with thermal storage enables industrial companies to decouple electricity supply and heat demand over time. This makes it possible to take targeted advantage of price fluctuations without adjusting production.
Volatile power prices pose a challenge, but they also create opportunities for companies with flexible demand. Power-to-heat solutions combined with storage not only ensure a reliable heat supply but also offer economic benefits through targeted flexibility trading.
