Abstract: The electrification of demand is a global trend that is gaining momentum as countries take action to address climate change and decarbonize the energy system. To be effective as a decarbonization action, it involves two parallel tracks: shifting energy demand from fossil fuels to electricity and increasing renewable energy grid integration. Together, these parallel tracks form the cornerstone of many countries’ climate action plans. The past decade has seen strong progress in some countries in the grid integration of renewables. This progress and the promise to further increase renewables on the grid opens up the opportunity to decarbonize sections of our whole energy system via electrification.
