Abstract

Historically, the term electrification has meant providing electricity to customers who lack access to electric infrastructure. From the earliest urban electric services in the 1890s to the electrification era in rural America from the 1930s to the 1950s, access to electricity drastically improved quality of life, including thermal comfort, hygiene, food availability, illumination, mobility, commerce, communication, and entertainment. As a result of these early electrification efforts, almost all U.S. homes are fully or partially electrified, with notable exceptions in some Native American and Alaska Native communities.
