Skim ShadyWe’ve been 100% electric, everything including transportation, for five years now. Of course when I requested a shut off #pge found three leaks outside the house. The average homeowner is not very aware of the harms of gas, decades of propaganda from the industry. It’s not healthy, safe or efficient. #smud was very helpful in the switch.
If you’re looking to buy a home in CA, I can’t stress enough the importance of finding a community owned utility #sacramento
TechdirtVictory! Court Ends Dragnet Electricity Surveillance Program In Sacramento
Jamison Alexander@401matthall @dougiec3 This is the municipal utility company for the county not the city Sacramento. Also while this is a horrible misuse of data they, SMUD, should not be dissolved because that may launch PG&E in for an attempt to take over and they will price gouge us all as they do in the surrounding counties where SMUD doesn’t operate.
Should #SMUD be held accountable for this?Yes. But, they shouldn’t be dissolved.
OCTADESMUD - an appropriate name for the electric company conducting surveillance for the police.
The $94 Million Smart Meter Surveillance Scheme Exposed
https://youtu.be/onYWQJsWFpk
Sacramento residents discovered their utility company has been secretly feeding their private energy data to police without warrants, leading to a massive surveillance operation that generated $94 million in fines. This explosive investigation reveals how SMUD transformed smart meters into government spy devices, monitoring when you shower, sleep, or use appliances.
Innocent homeowners faced armed police raids for using electricity to power medical equipment or mine cryptocurrency. One resident was forced outside in his underwear at gunpoint, while another disabled veteran was threatened with arrest for refusing warrantless entry. The surveillance threshold dropped dramatically from 7,000 to just 2,800 kilowatt hours per month, making air conditioning use suspicious in Sacramento's brutal heat.
Internal documents expose how SMUD analysts actively mined customer data for police, checking over 10,000 homes in a single month. Despite California law explicitly prohibiting utilities from sharing precise meter data without warrants, SMUD violated these protections daily for a decade.
The Electronic Frontier Foundation's lawsuit could reshape smart meter privacy nationwide. With the October 2025 court decision approaching, every American with a smart meter needs to understand how their utility company might be spying on them right now.

ChefRavenLovely. We are having a brownout. Power went out briefly, came back on but lights are low and things are flickering. GFCI all popped, AC unit making weird noises. I shut everything down and will wait for #SMUD (power utility) to restore. Ugh. It’s 100 degrees and it’s the hottest time of the day here. Happy Friday! 😡
