In order to offer Fremont businesses and residents cleaner energy and to help the City of Dublin achieve its Climate Action Plan goals, the Dublin City Council voted to join Ava Community Energy (Ava) on November 8, 2016. Ava began serving residential, business, and municipal electricity customers throughout Fremont in 2018. Customers were automatically placed on Ava’s Bright Choice service, which offers customers a 5% discount on their electric supply.

On June 18, 2024 the Fremont City Council voted unanimously to request that Ava change Fremont’s default electricity service plan to Renewable 100.  Fremont’s transition to the Renewable 100 service plan will take place in August 2025 for residential customers and in 2026 for business customers. Renewable 100 service is sourced from 100% wind and solar facilities, including a new wind farm in Livermore. Renewable 100 costs an additional 1/4 cent per kilowatt-hour above PG&E rates. That’s about $1 more per month for a typical Fremont home. Customers in Fremont can choose Ava’s Bright Choice service or return to PG&E service at any time. Your participation is helping Ava move toward 100% carbon-free electricity for all customers by 2030.
