Electrification - Challenges and Partnerships

Electrification is a fast-growing area for utilities, and is only projected to become more prominent. This introduces complexities for program administrators, necessitating adjustments in program management, outsourcing strategies, and coordination with existing energy efficiency efforts. 

DNV's latest research, based on a survey of utilities currently offering electrification measures, examines how organizations are approaching these challenges. The reports explore key considerations in electrification program procurement and implementation, including:

• Factors that influence outsourcing decisions.
• The qualifications and roles of contractors.
• How utilities are incorporating electrification into their broader operations. 

By analyzing utility experiences, DNV's research provides insights into the evolution of electrification programs in response to market, regulatory, and technical challenges.

The reports also examine the relationship between electrification and traditional energy efficiency programs, highlighting how utilities are managing the overlap between these initiatives. With electrification gaining momentum, it is essential to comprehend the interactions between these programs, particularly in terms of infrastructure requirements and long-term planning.

The insights from the reports offer a look at how utilities are structuring their programs and partnerships to address the challenges posed by electrification. Whether utilities are engaged in program design, procurement strategies, or contractor selection, these findings provide valuable guidance on building resilient and effective electrification programs.
