Take Control of Rising Energy Costs with Sacramento Battery Storage Incentive

Published Jan. 26, 2025

If you are a homeowner in Sacramento, now is the perfect time to take control of your energy costs. With SMUD raising rates multiple times, three increases in the last year alone, and a fourth hike set for May 2025, it's crucial to stay ahead of the rising costs.

What is the SMUD Battery Storage Incentive? 

SMUD's Partner program offers incentives to homeowners who install or optimize battery storage systems like the Tesla Powerwall 2, or a Tesla Powerwall 3. These systems help lower costs during peak energy hours and provide backup power during outages. 

The best part? Citadel Roofing & Solar will handle the entire installation process and application for you, while SMUD takes care of optimizing your battery to maximize savings during high-demand periods. 

Why Should You Care? 

  • Automatic Optimization: Once the battery is installed with Citadel, SMUD handles all the work of optimizing your battery’s usage, so you do not have to worry about managing it yourself. 
  • Backup Power for Peace of Mind: Your battery continues to provide backup power in the event of an outage, ensuring your home stays powered when you need it most.  
  • Up to $10,000 in Incentives: You can earn up to $5,000 for each battery you install (up to two batteries), plus ongoing quarterly performance payments.
