CalMTA, the statewide market transformation administrator, will share an update on the creation of the first market transformation initiatives (MTIs) for California, including the six technologies under development and the activities conducted to inform full MTI Plans for two ideas: induction cooking and room heat pumps. CalMTA will explore the process used to identify specific barriers, opportunities for leverage, strategic interventions, and desired outputs and outcomes for each MTI, as captured in updated logic models and active strategy pilots. In addition, participants will have the opportunity to interact with two innovative technologies used in the strategy pilots—a 120V induction range equipped with energy storage and a 120V window-mounted heat pump—and share their feedback with CalMTA.
