Henry Ssembatya publishes new paper on heating electrification and the grid.

Henry just published his first PhD paper (a collaboration with PNNL as part of the IM3 project) in Earth’s Future. The paper looks at how heating electrification could alter the timing and magnitude of peak load events in the future.

Congrats, Henry!

See here for a nice PNNL press release.
