Welcome

Ava Community Energy will begin electricity service in Stockton and Lathrop in April 2025. Residential, municipal, and commercial accounts will be automatically enrolled in our Bright Choice service and will save 5% on electricity generation rates compared to PG&E. 

How It Works

1. We buy clean power.
We build — and buy from — clean power plants. We sell the power to customers.
2. PG&E delivers the power.
Our power is delivered to customers by PG&E. Customers pay PG&E for power delivery as they always have, but no longer pay PG&E for electricity generation.

3. You get the power and all the benefits.
Customers benefit from clean energy, low rates, local governance, and innovative programs.

Our Service Territory 

Ava was founded in 2018 and serves 1.7 million people in Alameda County and the City of Tracy. In 2022, the Stockton City Council voted unanimously to join our joint powers authority, followed shortly by the City Council of Lathrop in 2023. We’re excited to bring clean energy at lower rates to Stockton and Lathrop in April 2025.
