What is beneficial electrification?

This phrase is defined as, “The use of elec­tric­i­ty to pow­er things that would oth­er­wise be run by fos­sil fuels, like nat­ur­al gas, diesel, propane, fuel oil or gaso­line, where doing so reduces green­house gas emis­sions and saves con­sumers mon­ey.” More sim­ply put, it means switch­ing the fuel that pow­ers some­thing you use every day to meet one of the fol­low­ing con­di­tions, with­out adverse­ly affect­ing the oth­ers:

1) Saves you mon­ey over time.

2) Ben­e­fits the envi­ron­ment and reduces green­house gas emis­sions.

3) Improves prod­uct qual­i­ty or your qual­i­ty of life.

4) Fos­ter a more robust, resilient or reli­able pow­er grid.
