SMUD Outages: Live Status & Outage Map
SMUD doesn't share live outage data with DOE's ODIN feed, so we can't show its current outage count. Use its official outage map (linked below) for real-time status.
PowerOutageTracker is independent and not affiliated with SMUD. In an emergency or if you see a downed line, call 911.
How reliable is SMUD?
Form EIA-861 reliability metrics for 2025, by state, compared with each state's average

Outage time = SAIDI, outages = SAIFI, restoration = CAIDI, all including major events, as reported on Form EIA-861 (2025). Storm exposure differs a lot between territories, so one year is not a full verdict.
