Clean Electricity Regulations

There is a title that reads: “1 Clean Electricity Supply and Generation” above a box on the left hand side of the image. In the box at the top is the text: “Transform the electricity sector so that all electricity generation is non-emitting”. Underneath there is an upward arrow next to a picture of wind turbines and the words “Non-emitting electricity” with two bullets underneath that read “Hydro, wind, solar, emerging renewables”, and “nuclear, hydro”. Beside this image, still in the same box, is a downward arrow next to a picture of an industrial facility with the words “Emitting Electricity” with two bullets underneath that read “Phase-out coal-fired plants” and “phase-down natural gas and diesel electricity”. This concludes the first box.

Below this box there is an arrow pointing downward towards another box, beside the arrow text reads “Increased clean electricity supply for the grid”.

There is a second title that reads: “2 Clean Electricity Transmission and Storage” above this second box. There are two columns side by side in this box. The title of the first one reads “Interties”. Below it, there is one bullet that says “interties to supply clean electricity to all regions” with an image of electricity distribution power lines. The title of the second column reads “Grid Modernization”. Below it there are three bullets that say “Distribution Energy Resources”, “Smart Grids”, and “Grid Storage” next to a picture of a battery with eight nodes coming out of it.

At the right hand side of the image, there is a third box with a title above it that reads: “3 Electrification and Energy Efficiency for Energy and End-Use Sectors”. There is an arrow pointing from this box towards the first box that reads “Increased demand for electricity moderated by improvements in end-user energy efficiency”. There is an arrow pointing towards this box from the second box that reads “Increased access to clean electricity”. Within this box, there are four sub-headers, each with a small icon and a few bullets. The first one is titled “Transportation”, has an icon of a bus and a car, and it has three bullets that read “Electric cars and trucks”, “Electric Rail, Marine, and Off-Road”, and finally “Vehicle Charging Infrastructure”. The second sub-header reads Buildings, the icon is of multiple tall buildings, and two bullets read “Heat pumps for space and water heating”, and “Energy efficient lighting, windows, HVAC and Building Envelopes”. The third sub-header reads “Industry”, the icon is of a factory, and two bullets read “Electrothermal Technologies” and “Electric Processes, Equipment and Machines”. The fourth sub-header reads “Oil and Gas”, with an icon of a barrel, and two bullets read “Electrification of Natural Gas / liquid natural gas (LNG)”, and “Electric Equipment and Machines (Turbines, Pumps, and Compressors)”.

On the right-hand side, next to this third box, there is a smaller box titled “Energy Efficiency” with the text “Energy Efficiency to Manage Demand” contained within, and there are arrows pointing from this smaller box to the larger third box.

Below the first three boxes, there are three arrows pointing upwards from a fourth large box, and one arrow pointing downward from the third box. Next to the arrow pointing downwards is some text and a smaller box in red perforated lines. The text beside the arrow reads “Low-carbon fuels and other decarbonisation pathways”. The text in the smaller box in red perforated lines has two bullets that read “Fuel switching for end-users with limited potential to electrify”, and “Support for Clean Process Technologies”.

The fourth box has a title above it that reads: “4 Innovative, Clean and Enabling Technologies to Advance Electrification”. Beside the box is text that reads “cross-cutting opportunity for research, development and demonstration (RD&D) to drive innovation in clean technologies”. In the box, there are three icons, each beside a single bullet. From left to right, there is first an icon of a lighting bullet with two arrows indicating a cycle, the text reads “Emerging Renewables, small modular reactors (SMRs), carbon capture and storage (CCS), Hydrogen”. The second icon is of power distribution lines and the bullet reads “Smart Grids, Batteries, Distributed Energy”. The third icon is of a wall power plug and the bullet reads “Clean electric and energy efficient technologies for end-use sectors”.
