Ice Energy is a mid-sized company in the renewable energy sector that develops distributed thermal energy storage systems. Its core concept involves freezing water to form ice during periods of low electricity prices or when renewables are abundant, and then using that stored ice to provide air-conditioning cooling when power is expensive. This approach aims to reduce peak-energy charges and lower overall air-conditioning consumption, while potentially easing the burden on existing AC equipment during hot weather. Headquartered in Costa Mesa, California, Ice Energy serves end-use customers such as homeowners and homebuilders, delivering solutions that shift cooling loads away from peak demand. In 2018 the company introduced Ice Cub, a hybrid air conditioning and energy storage product for residential markets, reflecting an expansion of options for energy-efficient cooling.
