Vibrant and innovative, San Francisco is the Advanced Energy Group’s newest city. Mayor London N. Breed’s bold vision for San Francisco’s clean energy future revolves around six key policy pledges:

  1. Implementing Zero Waste targets, promoting sustainable consumption, and working toward a circular economy

  2. Decarbonizing Buildings while providing necessary resources to building owners, creating job opportunities, and protecting tenants from price hikes

  3. A comprehensive Energy Transition, fully phasing out fossil fuels while ensuring equitable access and supporting local clean energy jobs

  4. Promoting Clean Transportation via prioritizing low-carbon options, reducing car dependency and increasing the prevalence of electric vehicles

  5. Ecosystem Restoration and improvement of public health through community partnerships and citywide greening

  6. Housing Creation with a focus on low-income residents and strategic development near transportation and amenities

Key targets and metrics:

  • 100% renewable electricity by 2025; 100% renewable energy by 2040

  • 15% waste generation reduction by 2030; 50% landfill disposal reduction by 2030
