Energy scammers are active in our area. Some go door-to-door claiming to represent Ava or PG&E. Some are selling solar or gas plans using high-pressure tactics designed to get your signature before you've read the fine print.
We put together this guide covering how to recognize both fraud and predatory sales scams, and what to do if you've been targeted. Read the guide: AvaEnergy.org/spot-scams

Ava Community Energy is now the local, not-for-profit default electricity provider for eligible customers in unincorporated San Joaquin County.
What does this mean?
🔌 Delivery = PG&E continues maintaining power lines, responding to outages, and sending your bill
⚡ Generation = Ava now provides the electricity that powers your home or business
With Ava, customers save 0.5% on generation costs compared to PG&E rates, while receiving cleaner energy and access to customer programs. You now have a choice in electricity providers and can switch back to PG&E anytime at no cost. Visit AvaEnergy.org/sjc to learn more.
