• Funding• US Department of Energy (DOE) funds SolSmart through its Solar Energy
Technology Office (SETO)
• Goal• Designate 300 US communities as a SolSmart community by October 2020
• Designation• SolSmart nationally recognizes local solar achievements by designating
communities SolSmart Gold, Silver, or Bronze
• Technical Assistance• To help local governments that might currently lack necessary resources or
knowledge achieve SolSmart designation, or to help communities pursue a higher level of designation

Regulatory Assistance Project (RAP)®
• “Cost of Service” approach:
• Total costs for providing service are recovered, plus
reasonable return on investment
• Regulators concerned with ‘just and reasonable’
rates
• Sufficient but no more than necessary to cover costs
and return on investment

Increased sales increased utility profit
When load is served with
existing facilities, costs are fixed
Creates incentive to resist
measures that reduce sales
(e.g. DG and EE)

SMUD’s Integrated Resource Plan
• Integrated Resource Plan (IRP): long-term strategic
analysis of plausible futures at a moment in time• Focus to serve customers while balancing key objectives
(GHG reduction, costs/rates, reliability)
• Scenarios represent plausible future outcomes
• Helpful in determining near term resource needs and
informing long term policy goals
• IRP will be updated periodically

2018 IRP Focus• SMUD’s IRP focused on achieving very significant carbon reductions in
the greater Sacramento region and in SMUD’s energy supply
– Maximize local benefit for our customers
• IRP identified 4 key strategies to achieve deep carbon reductions
across Sacramento:
Energy Efficiency ElectrificationLow-carbon energy/fuels
Mitigation of Other GHG Sources

Approved IRP GHG Goals
Year Net Greenhouse Gas Emissions
(metric tons)
2030 1,350,000
2040 Net Zero
2050 Net Zero
Net Zero is achieved through vehicle and
building electrification, energy efficiency,
clean distributed resources, RPS eligible
renewables, large hydro, and biogas.
2020 Emissions ≈ 3,200,000 metric tons
