Heat pumps are seen as a core technology for cutting greenhouse gas emissions from the U.S. building stock, where space and water heating and cooling account for 40% of the country’s primary energy use.

While customers spend more on electric bills overall, the home heating portion of EIA’s electricity estimates is almost the same as those for natural gas.

The new report argues that discussions about building electrification largely leave out one key issue: how to prepare the grid for the higher demand and new consumption patterns associated with the shift.

The average household should save $107 on utility bills every year because of the efficiency standards crafted by the Biden administration, according to a new analysis.

New Jersey’s Board of Public Utilities awarded $3.4 million in grants to 18 proposals under a new program designed to help municipalities implement clean energy projects.
