Electrification

In today's world, every aspect of our lives is increasingly driven by electrification. From the homes we live in and the buildings we work in, to the industrial complexes that produce our goods, the aerospace systems that connect our world, and the vehicles that transport us, peak electric demand is transforming how we generate, distribute and consume energy.

What is electrification?

Electrification is the process of converting devices, systems, or sectors from non-electric sources of energy to electricity. This transition can reduce greenhouse gas emissions, save money, and support grid flexibility. Electrification involves replacing technologies that use fossil fuels, like internal combustion engines and gas boilers with electrically powered equivalents such as electric vehicles and heat pumps.

The world runs on critical infrastructure and technology powered by electricity. Homes. Buildings. Vehicles. The electric grid. And more. The transition toward the electrification of everything is transforming the way we generate, distribute and consume energy.
