There is a strong correlation between electrification and rise in human development, but in developing countries access to electricity is often unreliable, unavailable, or unobtainable, especially from a centralized electric grid.
An £800m electrification and upgrade from Sheffield to Bedford, completing the full electrification of the Midland Main Line.
Electrification of rural households rose from 16% to 61% during the same period.
Another stimulus for electrification came with the sharp rise in oil prices and the realization of the risks of dependence on imported oil as fuel that followed the 1973 Middle East crisis.
The conditions which prevail in the atmospheres of most planets in the Solar System, in particular the telluric ones, are likely to give rise to their electrification.
