Fremont Businesses Transitioning to 100% Renewable Energy [ https://avaenergy.org/fremont? ]
Fremont Businesses Transitioning to 100% Renewable Energy

This August, Fremont continues its transition to 100% renewable energy! To support Fremont’s *Climate Action Plan goals [ https://fremont.gov/climateactionplan ]*, the City Council voted in June 2024 to set Renewable 100 as the default electricity service plan for all customers of *Ava Community Energy (Ava) [ https://avaenergy.org/ ]*. Ava is a local, not-for-profit public agency that has served Fremont residents and businesses since 2018. Ava generates electricity, and PG&E delivers it. City facilities made the switch to Ava’s Renewable 100 plan in 2022, residential customers followed in 2025, and commercial customers are set to transition this August.

The current default electricity service plan for commercial customers is Ava’s Bright Choice plan, offering over 60% renewable energy at lower rates than PG&E. Ava’s Renewable 100 plan will supply 100% renewable energy at a small premium (1¾ cents per kWh above PG&E rates). For an average small business in Fremont, the change to Renewable 100 will cost about $25-$30 more per month for electricity generation.

With this transition, Fremont businesses will continue to have the same choices for electricity generation service: Renewable 100, Bright Choice (priced 0.5% below PG&E rates), or PG&E generation. No action is needed to transition to Renewable 100. If a business does not want to transition to Renewable 100, they can remain on Bright Choice or choose PG&E generation. To choose their plan, businesses can visit *AvaEnergy.org/Fremont [ https://avaenergy.org/fremont ]* or call Ava’s customer support team at 833-699-3223 (weekdays 9:00 am to 5:00 pm). Businesses should choose their plan by July 23 if they do not want to transition to Renewable 100.

Informational Webinar

On Wednesday, July 8 at 12:00 pm, Ava will be hosting a *webinar [ https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_aiRt-BbHQX68rWrt7M_ftg#/registration ]* for Fremont business owners and operators with commercial electricity accounts. Ava will walk through what the transition to Renewable 100 means for businesses, including what's changing, what it costs, and what to do to stay on their current plan. Ava will cover options and key deadlines and answer any questions. *Register for Webinar*. [ https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_aiRt-BbHQX68rWrt7M_ftg#/registration ]
