Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD) offers a feed-in tariff for combined heat and power (CHP) and various renewable energy technologies. Every renewable energy technology that can be used to satisfy California's renewables portfolio standard is eligible for the feed-in tariff. SMUD's feed-in tariff varies by time of day, season, length of contract and production year, with the highest rates being paid during summer super peak times. Additionally, SMUD has two different feed-in tariff rate schedules; one for CHP and one for the renewable energy technologies. |

| Additional Information |
The rates paid for CHP projects increase annually and participating projects will receive the new, higher rates every year. For example, a CHP project installed in 2010 will receive the 2010 rates throughout 2010. In 2011, the same CHP project will receive the 2011 rates. SMUD has set an initial aggregate capacity limit of 100 MW. Applicants will be charged a refundable cash reservation deposit of $20/kW and a non-refundable interconnection review fee of $1,400. |
