The City of Cincinnati’s Office of Environment and Sustainability and partners are thrilled to announce the launch of the official Electrify Cincy website! As a collaborative effort that supports Cincinnatians to accelerate electrification of our homes and businesses, Electrify Cincy aims to educate residents and contractors as we work towards the Green Cincinnati Plan goal of 20,000 electrified homes by 2028.  

Building electrification is the shift from powering buildings with fossil fuels like natural gas, coal, and propane to powering them with electricity to reduce costs and improve our environment. The primary focus of the site is to provide residents and business owners with the information each needs to take on their electrification journey - from assessing and preparing to replacing and even producing. There is no one correct place to start, which can be a daunting effort. With the launch of our new site, we hope to empower Cincinnatians with the information and understanding needed to make the switch to fossil fuel-free buildings as we grow towards even more stable, comfortable, and healthy lives. 

Special thanks to the original Electrify Cincy pilot partners and participants including Corken Steel, Green Building Consulting, Groundwork Ohio River Valley, HVAC Design Partners, People Working Cooperatively, RMI, The Civic Garden Center of Greater Cincinnati, 14 resident ambassadors, and 11 HVAC contractors. The original pilot and website are funded thanks to the generosity of the Environmental Protection Agency’s Region 5 Air Quality Division. Explore the site, share the site with others, and remember: “when it dies, electrify!”
