Company will pursue a line of smaller residential solutions
RIVERSIDE, Calif. — Ice Energy, a leading provider of thermal energy storage systems, announced it will launch a new research and development center located in Riverside, California, this summer. Among other projects, Ice Energy will pursue a line of smaller residential solutions and continue to extend the range of applications supported by its Ice Bear solution.
The company recently was awarded a five-year contract from Riverside Public Utilities (RPU) to provide 5 megawatts of behind-the-meter thermal energy storage using Ice Energy’s proprietary Ice Bear system. The new 22,000-square-foot R&D facility will also serve as a staging area for the Riverside Ice Bear program as well as support Ice Energy’s 25.6 megawatt Southern California Edison (SCE) project.
