ET22SWE0006 - Water Heating TPM (2022)

The Program Team has established a robust Technology Priority Map (TPM) development process. TPMs will document the impact potential, research needs, and market readiness of all technologies across each of the end-use technology areas which will drive product ideation and inform Project selection. Strong, well-executed TPMs will help externally communicate the priorities of the Statewide Electric Emerging Technology Program, clearly define the central focus areas of the program, and assist with Project screening. The process will include the formation of the TPM Subject Matter Expert (SME) Team made up of Technical SMEs from the project team of Energy Solutions, VEIC, TRC, AESC, and UC Davis. The SME team will also form an external TPM advisory committee which will include representations from the CA IOU PAs as well as from emerging technology interests from the State of California, other regions, and national interests (e.g. DOE, National Labs, GSA). SWEETP's 2022 TPM development begins with the Whole Building TPM, and the development of the Water Heating TPM process will commence in Q2 2022. The 12-week process for the Water Heating TPM is scheduled to conclude in Q3 2022.
