(Redirected from Electrified)
:''This article is about electricity. For the Dressy Bessy Album, see Electrified (Album). For the Pink Cream 69 album see Electrifed''
'Electrification' refers to changing a thing or system to operate using electricity.
A more specific usage of the word refers to the act or process of building the necessary infrastructure to supply electric power to homes and businesses, especially in rural and isolated areas or the changeover of a railway from in the past steam locomotives, but now most often diesel-powered locomotives to electric locomotives. The infrastructure required for electrification includes power plants, long haul transmission lines, substations and shorter distribution lines to the end user.
One of the largest electrification projects was the GOELRO plan, adopted in 1920 and fulfilled in 1931 in the USSR.
In the United States, widespread rural electrification began with the establishment of the Rural Electric Administration (REA) in 1935 and its associated local Rural Electric Cooperatives.
