Description: Formerly Alameda Power & Telecom. Alameda Municipal Power is a municipal utility serving approximately 32,000 electric customers in Alameda, CA. Alameda partnered with ENERGY STAR during the summer of 2001. As a utility partner, Alameda has offered incentives through refrigerator recycling and CFL replacement programs. Alameda is a leader in the utilization of LFGE projects. It has four LFGE contracts: two projects currently providing electricity and two under development. In addition to generating electricity on-site, a study is underway to determine the viability of cleaning the gas and injecting it into the natural gas pipeline to be utilized locally in the City of Alameda. LFG is one resource helping to account for Alameda's country-leading renewable percentage of 83% including large hydro and 55% eligible renewables under California standards.
