“Electrification is a core tenet in the ongoing drive to reduce dependence on carbon-based energy sources and deliver on the promise of a sustainable future,” said Brickhouse. “From enabling the electrification of homes to helping states and municipalities understand how to leverage federal funding for EV charging infrastructure, Eaton is at the forefront of this movement. I look forward to working with the CEOs for Electrification coalition as we advance this essential element in the energy transition.”

According to the United States Energy Information Administration, home energy use accounted for approximately one-sixth of total U.S. energy consumption as of 2020, unlocking a significant opportunity to reduce overall greenhouse gas emission by converting homes to electric power. The CEOs for Electrification coalition drives action by bringing together CEOs across industries to champion electrification, electrify their operations and accelerate market transformation required to electrify everything. Working together, the coalition aims to create millions of new jobs, improve health outcomes and reduce emissions.

“We’re thrilled to partner with Eaton and have Brian Brickhouse join the CEOs for Electrification coalition,” said Rewiring America Head of Partnerships and Engagement Keishaa Austin. “For over a century, Eaton has demonstrated the kind of business leadership and vision we need today to make the clean energy transition work for everyone. Eaton’s Home as a Grid approach is a brilliant example of how electrifying everything can mean better resiliency, sustainability and comfort. We look forward to working together to make electrification easier for all Americans.”

Eaton’s Home as a Grid approach to the energy transition envisions a future where, through the two-way flow of electricity, homes become both producers and consumers of energy. Through technology innovation, homes can act as energy hubs by producing their own power to help support grid flexibility and stability of electrical power.
