As the nation's sixth largest customer-owned utility, SMUD has been providing low-cost, reliable electricity for over 60 years to Sacramento County. Silver Spring will provide the network infrastructure for their Smart Capital initiative which will network homes and businesses in Sacramento County. Through this effort, SMUD can empower customers to manage their energy consumption more efficiently, enabling rate payers to become full participants in building more energy efficient communities.

In partnership with Silver Spring, SMUD intends to implement a number of advanced smart grid applications, including Distribution Automation and Home Area Networking. The new, networked grid will enable SMUD to provide its customers with actionable information about their energy use, as well as enhance system efficiency and reliability by giving the utility complete visibility across its service area.
