Oakland is experiencing a network outage that is affecting key services such as Oak311, permitting and business tax. Several non-emergency systems including phone lines within the City of Oakland are currently impacted or offline. Thank you for your patience while we work to restore services.

Building Electrification Public Engagement

The City of Oakland's Sustainability team is working with community partners in an extensive citywide public education campaign about building electrification, popping up at farmer's markets, cultural events, and hosting clinics where residents can get direct access to energy efficiency and electrification resources. As Oakland continues on the bold path of decarbonizing buildings, this page will be updated with upcoming events and workshops as well as materials from past engagements.
