In 1972, at a formal hearing of the U.S. Senate Commerce Committee, Starr presented a vision for the Electric Power Research Institute to serve Congress's mandate for objective, scientific research. [3] Starr served as the first President of EPRI for five years and formally retired at age 65, but continued to work at EPRI for the next 30 years. [4]
Although the overall project completion date may be as late as 2041, some benefits should be felt in late 2024 or early 2025 when electric trains are due to run over the improved track layout between Manchester Victoria and Stalybridge (Projects W1/W2a), and bi-mode trains will be able to use electric traction between Church Fenton and York ...
Railway electrification in the UK has been a stop-start or boom-bust cycle since electrification began. The initial boom was under the 1955 modernisation plan.

Month–day–year (MDY) format—e.g., January 12, 2025 or Jan 12, 2025; Year–month–day (YMD) format—e.g., 2025-01-12 (also called the "all-numeric" format; used only where space is limited, such as in references and some tables and infoboxes, but not in article text proper). The appropriate format for a particular situation is ...
This list of countries by electrification rate sorts countries by the share of their inhabitants with access to electricity. Access to electricity is considered one of the prerequisites for a modern life. In 2021, 91.4% of the world population had access to electricity.
The Caltrain Modernization Program (CalMod), sometimes referred to as the Caltrain Electrification Project, was a $2.44 billion project which added a positive train control (PTC) system and electrified the main line of the U.S. commuter railroad Caltrain, which serves cities in the San Francisco Peninsula and Silicon Valley.
In 1961, the Northern Railway zone electrification office (headed by an engineer-in-chief) was established in Allahabad for the electrification of the Mughalsarai–New Delhi section. Following the 1978 J. Raj Committee report, several electrification projects were included and a railway-electrification headquarters was established.
A study published by the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) in May 2024 estimates U.S. data center power consumption could range from 4.6% to 9.1% of the country’s generation by 2030. [18] As of 2023, about 80% of U.S. data center load was concentrated in 15 states, led by Virginia and Texas.
