BayREN is proud to share its 2024 Annual Report, A Shared Horizon: Better Buildings, Brighter Tomorrow. This year’s report celebrates major strides in energy efficiency and electrification—bringing BayREN’s vision of healthier, more sustainable communities into sharper focus.
To date, BayREN has avoided over 166 million tons of carbon emissions, paid out $88 million in incentives, and upgraded more than 76,000 homes and businesses across the nine Bay Area counties. Our Agency plays a key role in promoting BayREN's 10 programs within Alameda County, supporting our mission to advance energy and resource efficiency in the built environment to prevent waste, combat climate change, and enhance the health of our communities.
In addition to local promotion and garnering participation in BayREN’s programs across the residential, commercial, and public sectors, our Agency leads two of BayREN’s programs across all of the Bay Area: the Bay Area Multifamily Building Enhancements (BAMBE) program and the Green Labeling program. In 2024, the BAMBE program upgraded 38 properties, improving 916 housing units, disbursing $2.6M in rebates. The Green Labeling program has helped 4,855 local homeowners assess their home’s energy use via U.S. Department of Energy’s Home Energy Score and disbursed $1.1 million in rebates.
