Beneficial electrification definition

Beneficial electrification means electrification of a technology that results in reduction in the use of a fossil fuel, including electrification of a technology that would otherwise require energy from a fossil fuel, and that provides a benefit to a utility, a ratepayer or the environment, without causing harm to utilities, ratepayers or the environment, by improving the efficiency of the electricity grid or reducing consumer costs or emissions, including carbon emissions.

Beneficial electrification means a utility's change in the energy source powering an end use from a nonelectric source to an electric source, including transportation, water heating, space heating, or industrial processes, if the change:

Beneficial electrification means electrification of an energy end-use in a way that provides a net benefit to the utility.

More Definitions of Beneficial electrification

Beneficial electrification means a utility’s change in the energy source

Beneficial electrification means any program or process that replaces direct fossil fuel use as a source of power and/or heat with electricity in a way that -- when the electric utility’s emissions are accounted for -- reduces overall emissions, including, but not limited to, charging infrastructure supporting electrification of motor vehicles, electrification of home and commercial appliances that use natural gas, and electrification of municipal and commercial operations that currently rely on fossil-fuel use to power equipment. To qualify as a Beneficial Electrification resource in Tier 1 under this RCPS, t he measure must reduce n et carbon emissions by the Beneficial Electrification Tier 1M inimum Threshold. Beneficial Electrification measures that create net reductions ofc arbon emissions of less than the Beneficial Electrification Tier 1 Minimum Threshold can qualify as a Beneficial Electrification resource in Tier 2 under this RCPS .

Beneficial electrification means replacing direct fossil fuel use with electricity.

Beneficial electrification means replacing fossil-fuel burning vehicles and appliances with those that use electricity--an increasingly clean source of energy. It was a main topic in a presentation to the Community Climate Action Education Series by SMPA Member Services Manager, Wiley Freeman, last month.

Beneficial electrification means the replacement of the direct use of fossil fuels in buildings with the use of electricity in a manner that:
