Millbrae

The City of Millbrae is working to help our residents and businesses reduce their energy, water and transportation fuel use, and to reduce the amount of waste placed in the landfill. These efforts can reduce costs, conserve resources and, ultimately, reduce pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. The following charts summarize trends relating to the use of these resources within the geographic boundary of the City of Millbrae.

Our residents and businesses can contribute to these efforts by updating energy and water fixtures and replacing appliances with more energy and water efficient models. We also promote transitioning to more renewable sources of electricity generation and less use of natural gas. These changes will also contribute to local and countywide greenhouse gas emissions reduction goals. In addition, shifting away from single occupancy car driving and towards public and active modes of transportation will reduce emissions from transportation fuels and contribute to a healthier lifestyle.

Between late 2014 and early 2016, PG&E programs changed with oversight of California Public Utilities Commission CPUC resulting in overall less claimable savings, for example reduction in deemed measure savings and incentive alignment. The CPUC ended some programs while other programs delivered less savings due to reduced market potential.
