AMP customers to save $63.6 million this year with rates 44.5% lower than PG&E

ALAMEDA, CA – At its regular meeting on April 21, the Alameda Public Utilities Board (PUB) approved a four percent system average rate increase for FY26 effective July 1st, 2025. This rate adjustment allows AMP to maintain its power reliability, system operations, and clean energy goals as a benefit to the Alameda community.  

Customer rates are still approximately 44.5% lower than neighboring investor-owned utilities such as PG&E, saving Alamedans a total of $63.5 million annually.  

AMP is a community-owned and locally operated clean electric system and does not make a profit on rates. The revenue from electric sales goes toward the operation of the system, customer-facing programs, and to the community through annual transfers of $6 million to Alameda’s general fund for essential services.
