On July 28, 2025, the City Council  adopted the "Electrify San Mateo: Sustainable Building Strategy," a strategy to upgrade existing buildings from methane gas to carbon-free electricity. Upgrading the buildings where residents live, work, and play to be all-electric is a crucial step in the City’s work to reach its climate goals, comply with future regional air quality regulations, and provide healthy air and living spaces for all San Mateans.
