Beneficial Electrification for All (BE4All)

Meet climate goals by switching to appliances, buildings, and transportation that run on clean energy.

Acterra’s BE4All Program prioritizes and accelerates the adoption of all-electric appliances, buildings, and vehicles that operate on clean energy instead of fossil fuels. BE4All supports the general public, small businesses, industry, municipalities, counties, regional authorities, the state, utilities, and NGOs toward meeting the climate goals of the entire region.

Acterra’s BE4All program has a proven track record of successful outreach, delivering messages both to professionals on the benefits of fossil-free devices in construction and to residents on the benefits of fossil-free devices in homes.
