About Us - Thule Energy Storage

Video Overview: How Our Technology Works

Thule Energy Storage (TES) is a thermal energy storage platform with a legacy of innovation delivering resilient, cost-effective and sustainable products using proven technology to harness the power of ice to store energy.

Our Ice Bear™ line of products turn air conditioners into the most cost-effective form of energy storage available. TES acquired the Ice Bear™ thermal energy storage technology and product line in 2020, and has been managing a fleet of Ice Bears that deliver critical grid capacity to our utility clients and savings for commercial and residential customers. We are building on a legacy with partners who can help us leverage the full potential of our platform to address the pressing challenges of our changing climate and our aging, unreliable power grid.
