The Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD) provides electricity to Sacramento County and a small portion of Placer County. It is one of the ten largest publicly owned utilities in the United States and has a worldwide reputation for innovative programs and services, especially in regard to renewable energy generation, such as wind and solar.

SMUD's headquarters building, built in the late 1950s on the edge of the East Sacramento neighborhood, is notable for its mural by Sacramento artist Wayne Thiebaud. The mural wraps around the ground floor of the building and is accessible to the public. It is one of the earliest major works by the artist, and remains his largest installation to date.
