Ava Community Energy is Powering Alameda County and the Valley with green low cost energy

Ava welcomes Howard Chang, former President and COO of Ava, as new CEO

“I am immeasurably grateful for the Board’s trust in me as the next leader of Ava Community Energy. I am honored to continue its legacy as a model for the broader energy transition, in California and nationwide,” said Chang. “I look forward to working with the Board and the rest of the Ava team to reach our 100% carbon-free electricity goal by 2030. And as a son of first-generation immigrants, I’m especially proud to be a part of our local community, and motivated to help ensure healthy communities for future generations.”

Ava is leading the transition to clean power.

Our communities launched a public power agency in 2018 to provide greener energy, low rates, and local community benefits.

Ava is on a path to provide 100% carbon-free electricity to all customers by 2030. Some of Ava’s member cities have taken the bold action of transitioning customers in their jurisdiction onto 100% renewable energy service immediately, to accelerate the reduction of emissions and hasten the investment in wind, solar, and battery storage projects.
