The electrification framework that benefits customers, the grid, and the planet
Kevin Andrews Gabe Cuadra Luke Currin Steven Day Bryan Jungers Bill LeBlanc Ryan Odell Jay Stein Tim Stout An E Source white paper

Electrification is the increased adoption of electric end-use technologies. The concept isn’t new; we’ve already seen three waves of it. But today, utilities, governments, and other stakeholders see electrification as a way to reach their energy, climate, and sustainability goals. For them, electrification is a strategy for:

  • Reducing carbon and greenhouse gas (GHG) levels
  • Modernizing and optimizing the electric grid
  • Creating social and environmental equity

We call this approach beneficial electrification. It aims to improve social and environmental outcomes for as many people as possible by:

  • Lowering the costs of energy use
  • Reducing GHG emissions and air-quality impacts
  • Improving comfort, convenience, and productivity
  • Managing the electric grid efficiently

This E Source white paper offers a framework for developing electrification programs that benefit people and the environment.
