Healthy buildings, clean industry, empowered communities

Join the California Energy Commission (CEC) and EPRI on March 11-12, 2025, for the second annual Electrification Summit, a two-day event exploring affordable, reliable, and equitable pathways to electrifying buildings and industry. The high-level themes will be healthy buildings, clean industry, and empowered communities.

Topics covered over the two-day event will include: 

• CA’s leadership on data-driven policies that maximize effectiveness and benefits of building decarbonization (BD) 
• The current state of industrial heat pumps (HP) and their applications 
• California Heat Pump PPP’s progress in growing the public’s and contractors’ awareness  
• Emerging research on health benefits of BD 
• Successes and challenges, including state and federal funding, in implementing industrial decarbonization 
• CA leadership on food processing decarbonization (FPIP) 
• Reducing global warming potential of refrigerants in HPs 
• Unlocking grid and customer benefits of BD, including bidirectional charging of electric vehicles 
• Incentive programs that reduce the cost of BD, especially for justice communities
