Project Nexus - Solar Over Canals Project Update

On Episode 53 of the TID Water & Power Podcast we're joined by TID Civil Engineering Department Manager, Bill Penney, to discuss the District’s solar over canals pilot project, Project Nexus.Since 2022, TID and its partners on the project have been working on Project Nexus—an innovative pilot that covers portions of TID’s irrigation canals with solar arrays. The project, a first in the state of California, has the potential to provide benefits including renewable energy generation, reduction in aquatic growth, and much more—but it’s not without its challenges. On this episode we discuss the recently completed project, the challenges of constructing a first-of-its-kind pilot, and what’s next for Project Nexus. Let’s get social! Facebook: @TurlockIDInstagram: @TurlockIDTwitter: @TurlockIDLinkedIn: /company/turlockidFind out more about TID at https://www.TID.org/podcast.
