Isn’t this really just about more load?
Isn’t all electrification beneficial?
No – Not all Electrification is Created Equal

• Electrification is beneficial if it meets one or more of three
conditions, without adversely affecting the other two:
• Saves consumers money over the long run;
• Reduces environmental impacts; and
• Enables better grid management.

• Load from more efficient end uses
• Heat pump water heaters move heat instead of
generating it – 1.5 - 3X more efficient
• EVs vs. gasoline passenger cars (60% vs. 20%)
What sort of load are we talking about?

• Load from end uses that can be less expensive
to operate
• With the right rate design, less expensive to “fuel”
What sort of load are we talking about?

• More Flexible Load:
• Traditionally, generation followed load for
virtually immediate consumption
• Today, because it can be stored (thermally or
electrically) some load can follow generation
• Flex load valuable
What sort of load are we talking about?
