This August, Fremont continues its transition to 100% renewable energy! To support Fremont’s Climate Action Plan goals, 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). 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 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 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.

The City is in the planning stage of the Fremont-Decoto Land Development Plan (LDP). This effort implements the City’s 2023–2031 Housing Element and requires the redevelopment of the City-owned site at 4178–4268 Decoto Road into a residential development that includes affordable housing.
In the current planning stage, the City is analyzing the ways to accommodate a redevelopment that maximizes the production of much needed housing, provides community benefits, and satisfies City priorities and state law. This planning stage includes opportunities for community outreach and engagement.
An informational community meeting was held on May 27, 2026. The exhibits presented at the meeting are now available on the project webpage. Those interested in learning more about the project are encouraged to review those materials. Another informational community meeting is planned for this fall. Details will be available later this summer.
Additionally, a brief online survey is available on the project webpage for the community to easily share their feedback on the project.
