No need to guess... If you watch about any talk on climate change mitigation it will start with a chart that shows which sectors use which amount of energy.
It's literally the introduction of the IPCC Report WG3 Report on energy:
Decarbonization of energy use in different sectors will require different technologies, but electricity is key. ENTSOE expects the amount of energy use that is directly electric to rise to up to 50% by 2050 for Europe:
We are talking so much about decarbonizing the electric grid because that's the easy part, but also because its the foundation for what must come afterwards.

Just check out the first figures.
