The four elements of decarbonization
Achieving ambitious decarbonization targets involves adding zero-carbon supply, conserving energy, electrification, and enabling technology that better aligns demand with supply.
Conserve
Encouraging customers to use more efficient appliances and products and be more energy efficiency reduces energy usage.
Supply
Uplight enables more customers to adopt more zero-carbon sources of energy such as wind and solar and shift load through demand response and time of use rates to reduce fossil fuel use.
Enable
Enabling technology can change the electrical load shape to accommodate for the variability of renewable generation—helping energy customers and utilities alike take advantage of clean energy resources.
Electrify
Fossil fuel consumption can be replaced with increasingly clean energy by transitioning to electric powered home appliances and transportation technology.
