Talking the talk and walking the walk with gas to electric tool conversions

Jun 3, 2024

We’re making great strides in building more sustainable practices into our operations as part of our commitment to our 2030 Zero Carbon Plan.

Converting our tools and equipment from gas to electric is one key focus to help us eliminate carbon emissions, and our goal is to have 100% of our hand tools be zero emission by the end of 2024.

The video highlights how we’re using battery-powered tools in the field, and to maintain our campuses and assets, whenever possible.

Check out this video featuring SMUD’s Lead Tool Repairer Chad Smith and Facilities, Building & Grounds Supervisor Sam Head.
