Some of you have heard us talk about the ETS program in Summerside, PEI. They are using Grid-interactive ETS (GETS) space and water heaters to help the municipal utility integrate the wind energy from their 4 turbines. The wind turbines are not only providing green electricity but they are also reducing the need for imported oil used for heating. The Summerside municipal utility is developing a city wide “intranet” to have two way communications with each heating device. This is truly a smart grid application that is beneficial to the consumer, the utility, and the community.
They talk about ETS heaters at the 2:30 mark of the video found here: http://www.cbc.ca/video/#/News/Canada/PEI/Compass/2179017826/ID=2194825538
