Transitioning to electricity as the primary energy source, especially when it is generated from renewable resources like wind, solar, and hydropower, significantly reduces reliance on fossil fuels. By shifting from fossil fuels to cleaner electricity, the community not only reduces the carbon footprint of residential, commercial, and industrial activities but also enhances energy resiliency, building a more reliable and sustainable energy system.
