Fremont’s Transition to 100% Renewable Energy

Post Date:06/06/2025 3:41 PM

This August, Fremont begins its transition to 100% renewable energy! The City and Ava Community Energy (Ava), our city's electricity provider, will designate Ava's Renewable 100 plan as the default electricity service plan for residential customers in Fremont. This plan supplies 100% renewable energy and is priced slightly above the other available service plans, costing about $3-$6 more per month than Ava's Bright Choice plan (Fremont's current default plan) and $1-$4 more per month than PG&E.

The transition to Renewable 100 is outlined in Fremont's Climate Action Plan, as it will provide cleaner energy to residents and businesses and achieve the high-priority goal of reducing community-wide greenhouse gas emissions.
The transition to Renewable 100 will occur this August for residential customers and in August 2026 for commercial customers. CARE, FERA, Medical Baseline, and customers who have opted out of Ava service to PG&E will not be automatically transitioned to Renewable 100.

As a Fremont customer, you still have the same choices in service plans. You can choose between Renewable 100, Bright Choice, or PG&E, and you can change your plan at any time.

If you do not want to automatically transition to Renewable 100, and you want to remain on Fremont's current default service plan, Bright Choice, or opt out of Ava service and select PG&E, you can easily make that change. Visit AvaEnergy.org/Fremont, call Ava at 833-699-3223, or email. To prevent charges for Renewable 100 service, submit your request by Wednesday, July 23, 2025.
