Does SMUD have the capacity to provide power for Yolo County?

Yes. The LAFCO analysis confirmed the availability of sufficient power for Yolo. If the ballot measure passes, SMUD will enter into long term power contracts to serve the new Yolo area and keep rates stable. Additionally, SMUD’s new Cosumnes Power Plant currently generates excess power in off peak times that is sold on the wholesale market. Instead of selling this power into the wholesale market, SMUD could use it for some of the new Yolo load.
