Three Pillars of the All Electric Society
Digitalisation
Connected systems, AI and Big Data make it possible to optimise energy flows and ensure supply security. Deep digitalisation is essential to manage the complexity of the electricity system in the All Electric Society. Coordinating decentralised power sources and electric consumers like heat pumps, electric vehicles, or electrolysers requires robust information and control technology capable of processing real-time data in the power grid.

The fundamental goal of the All Electric Society is to replace fossil fuels with clean electricity-based applications – across all sectors and industries, from manufacturing and buildings to transport. At the same time, the continued advancement of electrification holds significant potential for efficiency gains, substantially reducing energy intensity.
Learn MoreAutomation
Automation solutions in energy systems allow better use of existing grid capacities and increase operational efficiency. Power consumption is optimised to ensure both grid stability and consumer flexibility. Automation also unlocks the efficiency potential of electrification on the consumer side: autonomously driving electric cars reduce energy-wasting traffic jams, smart buildings require less energy, and industrial operations become more efficient.

What is the All Electric Society?
Achieving this vision requires a transformation built on three interdependent pillars: DIGITALISATION, ELECTRIFICATION and AUTOMATION. Together, these enable clean, affordable, and universally accessible energy, powering progress without compromising the environment or economy.
By leveraging renewable energies and advanced digital technologies, the All Electric Society aims to improve energy efficiency across industrial processes, supply chains, and daily life. Electrically powered solutions are central to reducing reliance on fossil fuels and natural gas, enabling a long-term transition to sustainable energy systems.
Why Now?
2024 was the hottest year since records began – part of a ten-year trend marked by extreme weather, rising sea levels, and melting ice. To meet this challenge, a fundamental transformation of our energy systems is needed. The All Electric Society offers a practical, scalable path to net-zero emissions.
