Electrification Voices: Pedro Pizarro
CEO, Edison International
“At the national level, with an endpoint of 2050, you could see adoption of electric technologies above the usual base case.”
Electrification Voices: Tom Fanning
A strategic blueprint for the way forward
PUF's Steve Mitnick: Tell me what gets you excited about EPRI's Efficient Electrification initiative.
Tom Fanning: I think the potential demise of the electric utility industry has been way overstated. In fact, I view the electrification initiative as a strategic blueprint for the way forward for electricity use in America.
It has so many advantages: economic, environmental, and operational. It's going to be good for customers, good for the economy, and good for the utility industry.
Electrification Voices: Sheryl Carter
Natural Resources Defense Council
“We see ourselves needing to go from the twenty percent of the U.S. economy that is electrified today to about forty-five percent.”
Electrification Voices: Bill Spence
CEO, PPL
“Overall, electric vehicles hold the most promise in terms of future electric sales in both the U.K. and the U.S.”
Electrification Voices: Mark Bonsall
CEO, Salt River Project
“A good example is the number of major airports looking to change out the airport ‘tugs’ that move the baggage and push planes, from diesel driven to electric driven.”
