TID to pilot water-energy Nexus Project involving solar panels over canals

        February 8, 2022 Cision | California | renewables: solar

Starting in the fall, TID will install solar canopies over a portion of its 4,000 miles of canals in the Central Valley of California. The $20-million project, the first of its kind in the US, could lead to an annual savings of 63 billion gallons of water and supply 13 GW of power (1/6 of current installed state solar) if expanded to the whole canal system.
