Alameda's Equitable Building Decarbonization Plan lays out the process for shifting natural gas use in existing buildings towards clean, energy efficient electric buildings in accordance with our climate and equity goals. The Plan provides a phased approach to make significant progress by 2030. The Plan aligns with other citywide efforts to create affordable, safe, healthy and resilient housing and prepare the City to leverage grants and funds as they become available.

We asked and received your feedback when we were in the development process. Now we are seeking your comments and feedback on the draft plan from July 13^th – August 5^th, 2022. Following this public review period, we will incorporate those comments and present the final draft plan to the Planning Board on September 12^th and Public Utilities Board on September 19th.

We also have a FAQ that addresses some of the common questions about the Plan and the building decarbonization process. Have other questions you want answered? Just email and ask!

Please review this draft and send your comments and questions by August 5th to dmieler@alamedaca.gov.
