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 [1] (AMP) can continue to maintain high system reliability, offset rising materials costs, and support the community’s clean energy goals.
[2]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 [4] 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.
