Fees remain 38.2% lower than PG&E
At the April 2026 meeting, the Alameda Public Utilities Board (PUB) approved a 3% system average rate increase effective July 1, 2026. The adjustment ensures that Alameda Municipal Power (AMP) can continue to maintain high system reliability, offset rising materials costs, and support the community’s clean energy goals.
Despite the small increase, AMP customers will still pay 38.2% less than PG&E customers pay in other cities, saving Alamedans an estimated $51.6 million this year.
PG&E (Pacific Gas & Electric) is owned by investors, and designed to make a profit for them, while AMP is community owned and not-for-profit. The fees AMP customers pay for electric service is reinvested directly into the community—supporting reliable service, clean energy investments, and essential city services through annual transfers totaling $6 million to Alameda’s general fund.
AMP provides safe, reliable, cost-effective, and 100% clean electricity to Alameda. The utility also provides a range of rebates and programs that support energy efficiency, building electrification, and transportation electrification. Financial assistance programs are available for customers who qualify.
