Commercial Energy Management in Sacramento, CA
Sacramento is served by SMUD, a municipal utility outside CAISO retail choice — rate design and efficiency drive the savings. That rules out supplier switching — so we go after the levers that do work here: rate class and tariff review, demand charge reduction, bill auditing and efficiency.
How Energy Buying Works in Sacramento
Sacramento, CA sits in the CAISO wholesale market, open to competition since 1998. Local distribution is handled by SMUD, a municipal utility, so there is no competitive supply market to bid into. Anyone promising you a cheaper supplier in Sacramento is selling something that does not exist. What does move the number is being on the correct rate schedule, cutting the demand component of your bill, and recovering billing errors — which is where we work.
