The neutrino luminosity of a degenerate electron gas in a strong magnetic field under conditions of the neutron-star crust owing to plasmon decay to a neutrino pair via a nonstandard mechanism associated with the hypothesized neutrino electric millicharge is calculated. Relative upper bounds on the magnitude of the millicharge are obtained from a comparison of the results of this calculation with the neutrino luminosity caused by the respective standard process and with the luminosity induced by the neutrino magnetic moment.
