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?

- 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.
