Does SMUD offer budget billing?

Yes, SMUD does offer a budget billing program designed to help customers manage their energy costs more predictably. This program allows customers to pay a fixed monthly amount based on their anticipated energy usage, which helps to avoid spikes in bills during higher usage months, such as summer. The monthly payment amount is calculated using an annual average of the customer’s previous energy consumption, making budgeting easier throughout the year. Importantly, the program is reviewed periodically, and adjustments may be made to reflect significant changes in energy usage or costs. For more detailed information on how to enroll in the budget billing program or to understand the specifics of how it works, it is wise to check the current SMUD website for the most accurate and up-to-date information.
