According to most recent data, 48% of the greenhouse gas emissions generated in Half Moon Bay come from energy use in buildings, with 80% of those emissions coming from natural gas and propane-powered energy.
To help curb these emissions and work toward a cleaner environment, the City is proposing an ordinance that would require all new construction be electric-only buildings, and would phase out fuel gas applications and distribution in existing buildings by 2045.

Próximo taller de electrificación de edificios – 12 de agosto a las 2:00pm
Según los datos más recientes, el 48% de las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero generadas en Half Moon Bay provienen del uso de energía en los edificios, y el 80% de esas emisiones provienen del gas natural y la energía alimentada con propano. Para ayudar a frenar estas emisiones y trabajar hacia un medio ambiente más limpio, la Ciudad está proponiendo una ordenanza que requeriría que todas las nuevas construcciones sean solo edificios eléctricos y eliminaría gradualmente las aplicaciones y distribución de gas combustible en los edificios existentes para el año 2045.
Está invitado a unirse al personal de la ciudad junto con Peninsula Clean Energy y la Cámara de Comercio de Half Moon Bay el 12 de agosto a las 2 pm para obtener más información sobre la ordenanza de electrificación de edificios propuesta por Half Moon Bay. En este taller, el personal de Half Moon Bay discutirá el propósito y los elementos de la ordenanza, responderá a sus preguntas y considerará los comentarios y las modificaciones sugeridas al borrador de la ordenanza. El personal de Peninsula Clean Energy discutirá sus programas de incentivos actuales y asistencia técnica para sistemas de paneles solares.
La reunión se llevará a cabo a través de la teleconferencia de Zoom; se proporcionarán detalles de inicio de sesión y más información en unas noticias electrónicas próximas y en la página web de Electrificación de Edificios de la Ciudad. Por favor, reserve la fecha: ¡su conocimiento será invaluable para crear políticas efectivas frente al cambio climático!
