homes and commercial buildings consume roughly two-fifths of the country’s overall energy, three-fourths of all electricity, and account for most of the peak electricity demand that drives generation and power grid infrastructure costs. Shifting heating from fossil fuels to electricity can cut direct emissions.

Here’s how: Firstly, having more renewable energy sources can increase the demand for green energy. As more wind turbines, solar arrays, and other renewable energy installations are built, they generate a larger proportion of energy on the grid. As noted, the utilities industry is shifting to more sustainable practices.
