Next Tuesday January 17th, the City Council will consider adoption of the Equitable Building Decarbonization Plan (Item 7B staff report). The plan presents a long term plan and process for shifting natural gas use in existing buildings toward clean, energy efficient all-electric buildings in accordance with the City's climate and equity goals. The plan provides a phased approach for community education and participation in the development of new policies and programs, financing options, and expanded rebates to incentivize electrification of Alameda building stock. The plan aligns with other Citywide efforts to create affordable, safe, healthy and resilient housing and prepare the City to leverage state and federal grants and funds as they become available.
An FAQ addresses some of the common questions about the plan and the building decarbonization process. Have other questions you want answered? Just email and ask!
