Georgia-Alabama Efficient Electrification Energy System Assessment: Executive Summary

This study evaluates the potential for efficient electrification in Georgia and Alabama, assesses key drivers, and identifies opportunities and challenges. Using the U.S. Regional Economy, Greenhouse Gas, and Energy (US-REGEN) model, the analysis highlights the economic potential for electrification across residential, commercial, industrial, and transport sectors and corresponding impacts on the electric sector and emissions through 2050 under a range of scenarios. The study suggests that electrification, driven by technological change and consumer choice, leads to load growth across a range of scenarios, but the extent of system changes depends on a range of technological, market, and policy factors.
