Ice Energy Mission
Transforming Air Conditioning, which is the Principal
Driver and Root Cause of Peak Demand driving the
Highest Energy Cost Periods of the Day/Season, Into a
Clean, Flexible and Reliable Energy Storage Resource
for Utilities and Consumers, Enabling Energy
Consumption Pattern Changes Automatically without
Cooling Sacrifice
Utility and Consumer Use Case Example:
Southern California Edison Ice Bear Program (Orange County)
Installing 1800 Ice Bears at commercial & industrial buildings to reduce
26 MW of HVAC peak load from 2 pm to 6 pm every day without cooling
sacrifice
Utility objective is to reduce SCE substation energy constraints for
Johanna and Santiago substations
Opportunity for consumers is to permanently reduce HVAC peak load
and shift HVAC energy consumption to night time periods saving
thousands of dollar with little to no investment – includes 20 years free
Ice Bear annual maintenance
Energy Storage: Barriers for Some, Advantages for Ice
PROPRIETARY & CONFIDENTIAL
Major Competitive Advantage
Lowest cost, longest lasting battery on the market, most environmental friendly battery using Water/Ice as energy storage media
Extremely reliable
98%+ availability over 35 million operating hours, 1400+ units deployed to date, 14 years in business
Environmentally Friendly & Safe
No fire and no use of chemical – storage media is water. No hazardous waste at end of life and all parts are recyclable
20 year life
No battery replacement or repowers, no power or cooling degradation, no cycling limitations, 20 year financeable
Fast deployment
No utility interconnection or complex construction permitting, Ice Bears use standard HVAC building permit and electrical codes
Manufactured in the USA
Ice Bear investment dollars are kept in the US and create manufacturing, engineering, installation, and local service jobs
The Impact of Ice Bears at the Spectrum Mall
20 Buildings, 386 total HVAC units, 245 Ice Bears potential = 3.7 Mega Watts
109 HVAC units 58 Ice Bears
113 HVAC units 74 Ice Bears
164 HVAC units 113 Ice Bears

Example Ice Bear and HVAC Application
• Ice Bears are combined with package HVAC units 3 to 20 tons
• The Ice coils are inserted into the package HVAC units
• One Ice Bear can support multiple package units
