TID Water & Power Podcast
There’s a lot more involved with delivering power than turning on a light switch. And the water that flows through the canals throughout the Turlock Irrigation District service area, where does that come from? Each month the TID Water & Power Podcast sits down with industry experts and TID employees to discuss fascinating facts and important issues that shape the operations of your community-owned utility.

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.
