1 When is Electricity the Best Energy Choice? NASEO Annual Meeting New Orleans, Louisiana September 18, 2017 Tom Reddoch Sr. Technical Executive

2 Three Dimensions of EPRI s Value Thought Leadership Industry Expertise Collaborative Model To provide value to the public, our members, and the electricity sector 2

3 Electricity Use Has Grown Faster than Total Energy for More than a Century What Will or Could Happen Next? GROWTH DRIVEN BY EFFICIENCY, CONVENIENCE, SAFETY, AND LOW COST 3

4 Relationship Between CO2 & Electricity THE TIGHTER THE CO 2 CAP, THE GREATER THE ROLE ELECTRICITY PLAYS Edmonds, Wilson, Wise, & Weyant Environmental Economics and Policy. 4

5 What is Electrification? Replacing alternative fueled energy end-use applications with efficient electric technology options while increasing consumer and societal benefit with the optimum energy choice. Electricity Efficiency (Best Electric) Conservation (Avoiding Use) Demand Response (Interrupting Supply) 5

6 National Technical Potential for Electrification 27 Q Total Energy Use - 71 Quads 99.9% Q 24 Q 21 Q Total Electric Technical Potential - 58 Quads 86% Q 56% 62 6 Q 8 Q 51 46% 4 Q Transportation Industrial Residential Commercial 6 Source: DOE/EIA Annual Energy Outlook, Electricity use is about 13 Q (or about 19%) of Total Energy Use of 71 Q.
