Electrification – Powering Business Operations with Clean Electricity

During this session presented by Business Foundations, business owners and operators will examine technology swaps such as:

• Gas boilers ➜ electric heat-pumps;
• Diesel forklifts ➜ battery units;
• ICE fleet vehicles ➜ EVs;
• LPG process heat ➜electric infrared/induction.

The session will also cover load-profile impacts, switchboard capacity checks and WA’s fast-growing EV-charging backbone and rooftop-solar uptake.

The Business Foundations team will outline where electrification is technically and financially viable, infrastructure upgrades (cabling, demand management, on-site storage), lifetime cost and maintenance savings of electric options, and see how pairing electrification with renewables slashes Scope 1 emissions.
