Is there enough electricity supply to support new all-electric buildings?

State policy already indicates a shifting away from fossil fuels as a source of power towards greater use of renewable energy. While County staff are not involved in managing the State’s energy supply or grid infrastructure, multiple State agencies are deeply involved in planning for the State’s future energy needs. These agencies are dedicating tremendous resources and attention to address these concerns.
