How can utilities accelerate heat-pump adoption while managing peak demand, maintaining reliability, and preparing electricity systems for growing building electrification?

Heat pumps are central to reducing building emissions, but widespread adoption will reshape when and how we use electricity. Utilities have a critical role to play—through incentives, customer programs, grid planning, demand-side management and new approaches to flexible load.

Join Shauna Sylvester (Urban Climate Leadership) and Julia St. Michael (Toronto 2030 District) in conversation with Brandon Young (BC Hydro), Etienne St-Cyr (Hydro‑Québec) and Tom Berkhout (Birch Consulting) as they explore:

• how utility programs are supporting heat-pump adoption;

• the relationship between heat pumps, peak demand and system planning;

• demand-side management and flexible-load strategies;

• regional differences in electricity systems and customer needs; and

• opportunities for utilities, governments and building-sector partners to work together.

Perfect for building owners, utilities, policymakers, energy managers, engineers, sustainability professionals and retrofit practitioners.
