The steam boiler that charges for shutting down (and for starting up)
An electric steam boiler is not just a piece of process equipment—it is a flexibility asset connected to the grid. In Spain, an industrial supply point capable of offering at least 1 MW of manageable power—either on its own or aggregated with other loads—can participate in the balancing markets and earn revenue for availability and […]

Industrial steam allows for the cleaning and sanitizing of critical areas in a plant using less water, no chemicals, and fewer shutdowns, with each Giconmes solution tailored to the specific application.
In a modern electrical system, not all relevant assets generate energy. Some consume it. And, in certain contexts, who consumes it can be just as important as who produces it. Electrode steam boilers belong precisely to that second group: their immediate function is to produce steam from electricity, but in a grid with high renewable […]
Steam is an effective and sustainable solution for disinfecting substrates and culture trays, eliminating pathogens without using chemicals or generating waste. In addition, electric steam generators allow this process to be carried out with greater precision, efficiency and less environmental impact.
The first European auction to decarbonize industrial heat already has winners. We analyze the results in Spain, the execution deadlines and how to take your project to operation with Giconmes HGV range.
The efficiency of a boiler no longer only impacts energy consumption. With the CAE system, improving the performance of industrial steam can also translate into additional revenue for the company.
Electric steam is no longer a marginal alternative but a real option in the plant. Even so, there is still something wrong. A silent flaw that is repeated in project after project and has little to do with technology.
While heat pumps and thermal storage grab headlines, resistive electric boilers have been quietly decarbonizing industrial processes for more than half a century. It's time to talk about them.
For decades, industrial heat has been the neglected sector of the energy transition. While electrification was advancing rapidly in areas such as mobility and power generation, thermal processes – pasteurization, drying, sterilization and steam generation –continued to rely almost exclusively on fossil fuels. Today, that paradigm is changing. Industrial heat accounts for about two-thirds of […]
