Electrification is the process of replacing technologies that use fossil fuels (coal, oil, and natural gas) with technologies that use electricity as their source of energy. This is a primary pathway to global decarbonization.

The transition to an electric economy is a multi-decade structural trend. It is driven by policy mandates to reach net-zero emissions, falling costs of battery and renewable technologies, and the need for energy security, grid stability, and efficiency.
