The transition to electricity has added impetus towards a net zero approach. Historically one of the big criticisms of plans to reduce greenhouse gases was that the road map to get there was sufficiently vague and non-committal that actual action was always a can that could be kicked down the road. And while recent COPs have again replaced specifics with aspiration, the majority of the world is making steps in the right direction.
In the UK, the trend for overall energy consumption has been downward for nearly a quarter of a century, while despite the gradual switch to electricity, it too decreases year on year (typically by 1-2%). However, transport remains an outlier, gathering pace and still using an increasing amount of fossil fuels. The switch to EVs, as discussed in the article on p32, is slow for a number of reasons, but we have to assume that there is a massive lump of electrical capacity that will ultimately need to be satisfied when we are all channeled toward EVs in the 2030s...
