The Sacramento Municipal Utility District was founded with the idea that providing electric power to Sacramento was a job best done by a public utility overseen by an elected board of directors. For 60 years, we've done just that, providing Sacramento County (and a small part of Placer County) with a reliable source of electricity at competitive rates that are consistently lower than investor-owned utilities in the state.As the sixth largest publicly owned utility in the country in terms of customers served, our innovative energy programs are known throughout the state, nation and world. SMUD's purpose is to provide solutions for meeting our customers' electrical energy needs. Our vision is to be a leader in customer satisfaction and a positive force in promoting community benefits.
In partnership with the Sacramento Tree Foundation, SMUD provides SMUD residential customers with free shade trees to plant around homes. Once properly placed shade trees mature, SMUD residential customers can save as much as 40 percent on their summer electric bills, and help conserve energy during SMUD's peak usage period. Shade trees also improve our air quality, provide beauty and privacy, improve property values, and absorb storm runoff. Since the program inception in 1990, SMUD’s Shade Tree program has planted more than ½ million shade trees in SMUD’s service territory. To get started, call the Sacramento Tree Foundation directly, at 916-924-TREE (8733) or go online atwww.SMUD.org (then search for shade trees in the search box) to set up a visit from a community forester. |
