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.
As we move towards an all-electric society, utilities are facing a substantial increase in load demand. The growing complexity of the grid is compounded by stricter regulations and severe weather events, highlighting the need for innovative digitalization strategies to provide a reliable power supply. Our latest report reveals critical insights from 250 utility decision-makers worldwide navigating today's energy major challenges.
