AE Electrification Study

Fermilab intends to conduct a planning level study for the laboratory campus of Fermilab in Batavia, aimed at transitioning its energy infrastructure to fully electric systems. The study will focus on analyzing the feasibility, challenges, and opportunities associated with electrifying the campus, including the replacement of natural gas systems. The study will also evaluate the impact of introducing EV infrastructure and develop a phased implementation plan for supporting the adoption of electric vehicles. The overall goal is to optimize energy consumption, enhance energy efficiency, promote energy conservation, and achieve a sustainable, net-zero emissions operation.
