Ava Community Energy and Prologis Launch First Partnership Site to Bring Solar Power Generation to Underserved Communities

Who:    Ava Community Energy (Howard Chang, CEO) and Prologis executives will be joined by State Senator Jesse Arrequin, Oakland City representatives Councilmember Rowena Brown and Chief Resilience Officer Daniel Hamilton and others.

What:   Ava Community Energy and Prologis will launch the first of five partnership sites where Prologis is housing rooftop solar power generation. This partnership will benefit the community and make solar power available to disadvantaged communities and homes that would never have had the opportunity for solar installation. This will also provide 20% discounts on energy costs for low-income residents participating in Ava’s Solar Discount Program.

When: Friday, June 5, 2026

              12:00 p.m. - 2:00 p.m.

              Speaking program begins at 1:00 p.m.

Where: Prologis Warehouse: Oakland 1

              500 85th Avenue, Oakland, CA

Why:    This is part of the state’s DAC-GT program, where disadvantaged communities can benefit from solar power generation that they would never have the ability to place on their own homes.

Ava began offering their Solar Discount Program in 2021 and since that time their customers enrolled in this program have saved more than $3 millions combined.

Ava is committed to finding ways to have more of its clean energy generated locally, for use by local customers. 

This is just one of the many initiatives that Ava Community Energy has launched to make the transition to carbon-free energy easier and more accessible for all. We would welcome the opportunity to talk to you about this project and the many others.
