UTENs: Future Forward Energy Delivery
Thermal energy systems are growing among large, private entities that need to deliver reliable energy across an entire campus of varied building types. With a network of distributed energy, the owner, like a university or hospital, can employ energy-efficient technologies like geothermal and sewer heat recovery to better manage and improve delivery.

The success of these energy districts has led public utilities to ask the question: What if we expanded those systems to serve an entire neighborhood, or even a town?

Taking cues from successful European examples, energy providers—like Eversource in New England—are piloting the first utility thermal energy networks (UTENs) in North America.
