Through the Electrification Futures Study (EFS), the National Renewable Energy Laboratory is exploring the impacts of widespread electrification in all U.S. economic sectors.
In this multi-year study, NREL and its research partners—Electric Power Research Institute, Evolved Energy Research, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Northern Arizona University, and Oak Ridge National Laboratory—are using multiple analytic tools and models to develop and assess electrification scenarios designed to quantify potential energy, economic, and environmental impacts to the U.S. power system and broader economy.
