About this award
The Turlock Irrigation District (TID) was awarded a $10,339,634 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Reclamation under the WaterSMART (Sustain and Manage America's Resources for Tomorrow) program (CFDA 15.507). The grant will fund the installation of a 4,000-kilowatt floating solar photovoltaic energy generation system on the Lateral 8 Regulating Reservoir in California's San Joaquin Valley. The solar array is expected to generate over 8.7 million kWh of electricity annually, powering the Lateral 8 pump station and supporting the district's electrical grid serving residential and commercial customers. Additionally, the project is anticipated to result in 110 acre-feet of annual water savings due to reduced reservoir evaporation. The grant award is effective from April 30, 2025, with a targeted final completion date of June 30, 2027.
Description
The system will have two floating solar arrays with accompanying grid-interactive inverters. The solar facilitys planned energy capacity will be rated to 4,000 kilowatts, for an estimated total annual energy generation of over 8,700,000 kilowatt-hours, powering the lateral 8 pump station and bolstering the districts electrical grid, which serves residential and commercial customers. The project is also expected to result in annual water savings of 110 acre-feet due to reduced reservoir evaporation.
