    Abstract: The invention relates a method for continuously performing one or more heat-consuming processes, which is characterized in that the at least one heat-consuming process is electrically heated, the maximum temperature in the reaction zone of the heat-consuming process is greater than 500°C, at least 70% of the products of the at least one heat-consuming process are continuously further processed in downstream processes and/or are passed on to a local energy carrier network and the required electrical energy for the at least one heat-consuming process is drawn from an external power grid and from at least one local power source, wherein the at least one local power source is fed at least 50% of its annual energy requirement from at least one local energy carrier network and is fed at most 50% of its annual energy requirement by products from the heat-consuming process, wherein natural gas, naphtha, hydrogen, syngas and/or steam is stored as an energy carrier in the at least one local energy carrier network, wherein the at least one local energy carrier network is fed at least one further product and/or byproduct from at least one further chemical process and wherein the local energy carrier network has a total capacity of at least 5 GWh. The invention also relates to the use of this method as a minute reserve for the public power grid and to the use of local energy carrier networks of chemical sites for the storage of electrical energy.
