Fremont’s Energy Transition

Fremont took a bold step toward a cleaner energy future when its City Council voted to join Ava Community Energy on November 8, 2016. Since 2018, Ava has been providing Fremont residents and businesses with green energy at a 5% discount through our Bright Choice service plan. Municipal accounts in Fremont get 100% renewable energy through our Renewable 100 plan.

To facilitate Fremont’s Climate Action Plan, on June 18, 2024, the Fremont City Council voted unanimously to make Renewable 100 the default electricity service plan for the entire community. This transition will begin in August 2025 for residential customers and in 2026 for business customers. Renewable 100 service is sourced from 100% renewable facilities, including the Scott Haggerty Wind Energy Center in Livermore, and is priced slightly above PG&E rates, equaling about $1 to $5 more per month for an average Fremont home. 

By joining Fremont’s transition to clean energy, you’re helping our community reduce greenhouse gas emissions and supporting Ava’s mission to provide 100% carbon-free electricity for all customers by 2030. You can choose Ava’s Bright Choice service or return to PG&E service at any time.
