Solicitations
Ava’s mission is to reinvest profits directly into East Bay and San Joaquin Valley communities, creating local green energy jobs and clean power projects.
We do this in several ways, including contracting with local businesses, independent contractors, and community-based organizations to plan, implement, and execute a variety of programs in our service area.
In addition, Ava periodically purchases wholesale electric energy and capacity from generators and suppliers, including local renewable and carbon-free energy.
Solicitations for these services and more will be posted on this page — check back often!
