2050 U.S. electricity consumption increases relative to Reference

  • Medium +932 TWh (20%)
  • High +1,782 TWh (38%)

1.6%/year CAGR (2016-2050) 1.2%/year 0.6%/year

Planning for electrification requires considering the impacts to annual consumption and load shapes

Note: Summer = June-August, Fall = September-November, Winter = December-February, Spring = March-May Peak Load (GW)

Meeting new system needs from electrification could require a scaling-up of U.S. electricity infrastructure development

Solar: ~40 GW/yr Natural gas: ~30 GW/yr Wind: ~20 GW/yr

+Even higher rates in some scenarios

Key Takeaways

  • Under scenarios with increased electrification:

– growth in electricity demand could outstrip historical rates – electrified demands could re-shape load profiles

  • Meeting these electrification-driven changes in demand could result in unprecedented

capacity development in the U.S., with impacts on: – electric system expenditures – electricity prices – energy system costs – emissions – fuel and energy consumption

  • Ongoing research in the Electrification Futures Study will examine power systems
  • perations in greater detail, including production cost simulations and distribution

system modeling

Developing demand-side scenarios

OBJECTIVES

Characterize changes to end-use sectors under increasing levels of electrification Quantify how electrification impacts total electricity demand and consumption profiles

APPROACH

Expert judgment adoption projections and consumer choice modeling Bottom-up stock and energy accounting model (EnergyPATHWAYS)

SCENARIOS

Reference: Least incremental change (~AEO2017) Medium: Widespread electrification among low(er)-hanging fruit opportunities High: Transformational electrification

slide-12

NREL | 12

Method in brief:

Electrification follows a similar trend

Example for light-duty vehicles

Sales shares determined from a combination of expert judgment based on current trends & consumer choice models (e.g., NREL ADOPT model for LDVs) EnergyPATHWAYS model used for stock rollover and detailed energy accounting Principles: technology-rich assessment, bottom-up accounting, cross-sectoral breadth, national scope with state-level detail

Transportation Sector Details

  • 2050 U.S. transportation fleet

(High scenario):

  • 240 million light-duty plug-in

electric vehicles

  • 7 million medium- and heavy-

duty plug-in electric trucks

  • 80 thousand battery electric

transit buses

  • Together these deliver up to

76% of miles traveled from electricity in 2050

Buildings Sector Details

  • In the combined buildings sector

(residential + commercial) in 2050, electric equipment provides up to:

  • 61% of space heating
  • 52% of water heating
  • 94% of cooking services

(High scenario; right column)

  • Appliance lifetimes limit total

The required capacity development and operating needs lead to corresponding increases in electric system expenditures*

However, when levelized by incremental electrification-driven demand, costs are similar ($40-$43/MWh) under both Medium and High scenarios, suggesting that the U.S. is rich in low-cost resources.

Ranges reflect end-use technology advancement cases
