electrify

verb, convert (machinery or the place or system employing it) to the use of electric power (COD)

“We didn’t get electrified ’til I was about thirteen. ’Course once we got electrified no longer did we have to milk cows by hand. We had the milking machines. We had refrigerators. Prior to being electrified we would kill a beef in- well probably around Christmas, the first of January, and we’d hang it. We had an outside porch. We’d hang it in there, and if we wanted to cook some beef, we’d go out and hack off a piece and cook it.”
