SMUD's Feed-In Tariff

In September, SMUD's Board of Directors approved a Feed-In Tariff for the purchase by SMUD of energy from eligible renewable energy resources and combined heat and power installations. Under a Feed-In Tariff, a utility offers standard published rates, and standard contract terms for generation that qualifies under the Feed-In Tariff criteria. SMUD's Feed-In Tariff is for eligible renewable energy resources and qualifying combined heat and power installations up to 5 MW. 

SMUD No Longer Accepting FIT Applications

Effective August 4, 2010, SMUD is suspending the acceptance of new Feed-In-Tariff applications.

SMUD's Feed-In Tariff Queue is Full

Thanks to everyone who has submitted proposals for SMUD’s Feed-In Tariff.  SMUD has now received enough applications for both the “A” pool and “B” pool, that effectively our Feed-In Tariff Queue is full, and applications are no longer being accepted. In the event that an application that currently has a reserved position is dropped, the next application with an unreserved position will be given an opportunity to get the released reserved position.

If you have a project and want to submit a proposal to SMUD, you may do so as an "unsolicited offer," which is a different process than for our Feed-In Tariff. Please click here if you are interested in submitting an unsolicited offer.
