@@ -100,6 +100,7 @@ Classify the change according to the following categories:
 
 ## v0.48.2
 ### Added
+- Add new optional parameter **max_ton** to GHP module to allow user to size GHP smaller than peak load
 - Battery residual value if choosing replacement strategy for degradation
 - Add new **ElectricStorage** parameters **max_duration_hours** and **min_duration_hours** to bound the energy duration of battery storage
