Sustainability starts here
We're leading the way in carbon-free energy solutions for a safer, cleaner community by delivering the benefits of advanced all-electric technologies and cost saving incentives to your business.
Gas-to-electric conversion, is the process of upgrading your company’s carbon emitting equipment with energy technology that is newer, more advanced and cleaner.
Rebates are available for modern advanced designs that can heat your business efficiently even on the coldest days.
Heat pumps move heat instead of creating it – rebates for light duty and commercial duty heat pumps are available to serve a range of needs.
Customized rebates and incentives are available to support almost all heat pump heating needs.
Save energy and reduce carbon dioxide emissions while creating a safer, more comfortable and healthier kitchen.
Rethink food preparation and reduce space requirements with multifunction electric appliance rebates.
SMUD Go Electric Incentives support your commercial vehicle and charging needs. Charge forward with the benefits of EV.
Converting your fleet from petroleum burning, internal combustion engines to clean electricity is beneficial to your business, including fuel savings and maintenance costs, and significant reductions in pollution and carbon production.
With the growing number of electric vehicles (EVs) in the area, the need for charging options is increasing. Installing EV charging stations at your business, reduces your organizations’ carbon footprint and gives your employees and customers the power to charge their EVs at work which can boost satisfaction and loyalty.
SMUD is partnered with the Center for Sustainable Energy and the California Energy Commission to offer charging incentives through the Sacramento County Incentive Project for the purchase and installation of electric vehicle charging infrastructure at publicly accessible sites.
Converting forklift operations to electric result in lower operating costs, no emissions, less maintenance and are quieter to operate.
Converting your appliances from gas to electric or adding new electric vehicle charging infrastructure may require upgrades to transformers and conductors on the utility side of the meter.
SMUD incorporates Go Electric gas to electric conversions into all commercial programs.
