By 2034 the system is dual peaking with similar summer and winter peaks, depending on the weather conditions each year. The magnitude of winter peaks after electrification is highly sensitive to assumptions made in EnergyPATHWAYS regarding heat and cold weather performance, cut-out temperatures and back-up fuel types, and other efÏciency measures, e.g., building shell improvements, which might be applied in parallel. This work assumes high efÏciency cold weather heat pumps are sold and that such systems switch to electric resistance heating once -13 degrees Fahrenheit is reached. This matches the highest performance systems sold in the U.S. today8 8 Example system: https://www.mitsubishicomfort.com/articles/mythbusters-heat-pumps-for-extreme-cold-climates SPP FUTURE LOAD SCENARIOS | EVOLVED ENERGY RESEARCH | 27
