Market Transformation with Ice Storage Air Conditioning “Ice Energy Summer Day” Load Profile Slashing A/C demand by 35%, every day Residential A/C Commercial A/C Storing Wind Power Commercial Lighting Base load 6 a.m. 12 noon 6 p.m.
Ice Storage Creates a Market for Off-Peak Wind Power Typical Summer Day Wind Power Generation noon midnight. • On-Shore wind rarely blows on hot summer days • 95% is off-peak • Air conditioning load shift is a direct off-set for fossil fueled peakers • Shifts daytime fossil fuel and its emissions to nighttime wind System Demand Source: 2006 California Energy Commission report

Ice Storage Can Cover the Demand Shortfall of Solar PV A/C Storage
Source & Site Energy Savings Ice Storage Heals the Planet Peak vs. Off-peak CO2 Emission Rate* (Tons/MWh) Source for Carbon Credits Reduced Greenhouse Gas Emissions Heavy AC Use Reduced Smog Potential on 2% days *Southern California Edison Data • 56% lower NOx emission rate during off-peak • 40% lower CO2 greenhouse gas emissions
Widespread Applicability: All Buildings Under 3 Stories • Office • Retail • Restaurant • Residential
Ice Energy’s Zero Loss Storage Breakthrough Ice Energy Storage Module • Cooling capacity is created during the night by freezing water • Off-the-shelf product, over the counter permit • Best electric condensing unit efficiency • Efficiency, not curtailment • Stored cooling energy is delivered during the peak of the day • Electric condenser “locked out” • Superior cooling comfort and dehumidification • The water never leaves the tank • 300 watts on-peak vs. 10,000 watts (300 EER on-peak) • 6 hour storage, 60 kW-hr • 20+ year life, unlimited deep cycles

Strong Alignment with Public Policy Goals • Permanently reduce peak demand 1% per year for 10 Years • Savings on energy & capacity • Savings on T&D line losses and expenditures • Savings on greenhouse gas emissions • Improve grid reliability; relieve thermal stress on distribution circuit substations, wires, and building transformers • Insulation against the impact of 1 in 10 heat driven events • Create a market for off-peak renewable wind energy • Improve the value of intermittent Solar PV • Applicable to majority of utility customer base • Local economic development
Asks • Decouple Utility Profits from KW-hr sales • Put utilities in the energy efficiency and demand reduction business • Mandate the use of cost effective Demand Side Resources • Integrated Resource Plan includes Energy Efficiency and Demand Reduction • Allow preferential rates of return for distributed energy storage • Distribution asset equivalent or better rate of return (rate base storage) • Valued on an equal footing with new peaking capacity, energy, and emissions • Reduce the emphasis on silo “programs” • Increase building end use efficiency and reduce peak demand • Adopt 8760 hourly energy usage models (search TDV Cookbook) • Develop tariffs and customer incentives that support the use of storage • 4-hour on-peak demand periods, higher off-peak energy differential • Contact your U.S. Representatives and Senators • Support accelerated depreciation and investment tax credit status for energy storage assisted air conditioning (e-mail gtropsa@ice-energy.com)
