The Future of Heat: Thermal Energy Networks as an Evolutionary Path for Gas Utilities Toward a Safe, Equitable, Just Energy Transition was originally published and presented for the ACEEE Summer Study in August 2024. It explores the potential of utility thermal energy networks (UTENs) to drive widespread decarbonization, offering benefits like emissions reductions, equitable energy access, and cost savings. It calls for legal and regulatory innovations to support UTEN development.
