Watch the edges

SMUD covers most of Sacramento County, but its boundary isn't the city line. Cross the river into West Sacramento and electricity comes from PG&E, not SMUD; some neighboring cities run their own electric utilities, and unincorporated county pockets can flip too. The provider follows the address, so confirm yours.

Moving to Sacramento: set up in this order

Moving to Sacramento means lining up three separate providers before your first triple-digit July afternoon, so here's what to sort out address by address:

  1. Start electric service with Sacramento Municipal Utility District. Have power active before move-in when you can. Watch edges if you're near the county line, across the river, or in an unincorporated pocket.
  2. Open a Pg&E gas account. Propane/oil homes can skip Pg&E entirely.
  3. Handle the city utility account. MUDs/districts near Sacramento may bill separately from Sacramento (City).
  4. Book Sacramento internet early. Book ahead for a Sacramento tech visit.

Sacramento utility questions, answered

Who is my electricity provider in Sacramento?

For addresses across Sacramento, electricity comes from the Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD), the region's publicly owned power district, not the investor-owned utility that serves much of California. California has no retail electricity choice, so you don't shop for a supplier; the address determines the provider, and inside SMUD's territory that's SMUD for both the power and the wires. Run the lookup to confirm SMUD reaches your exact address.

Is my gas from PG&E or SMUD?

Natural gas in Sacramento is provided by Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E), the regulated gas utility, even though your electricity comes from SMUD. It surprises newcomers, but the two are separate companies handling separate services here: SMUD does not sell gas, and PG&E does not sell electricity inside SMUD's territory. Gas is its own regulated utility statewide, so the split is normal. Use the lookup to verify PG&E covers your address.

Who handles water and sewer, and can I choose my providers?

Water and sewer service at Sacramento addresses is run by the City of Sacramento, the city-owned utility for both. As for choosing: you can't. California doesn't offer retail electricity choice, and gas, water, and sewer are all regulated monopolies tied to your location. Whoever holds your address is who you get. SMUD, PG&E, and the City here. Your job is simply to start service in each one; the lookup shows exactly which providers apply.
