Check out our article on floating solar at North Unit Irrigation District and how Emrgy Inc. is maximizing a canal system's energy potential from our November/December issue. Next year, the North Unit Irrigation District (NUID) will use a $2.55 million Bureau of Reclamation award to break ground on a new in-canal floating solar project. The project will install nearly 2,200 floating solar panels on a segment of the district’s main canal to generate energy and study the feasibility of the new technology developed by technology company Emrgy. In this interview, Reclamation Project Manager TJ Kaup, Emrgy founder and CEO Emily Morris, and NUID General Manager Josh Bailey talk about the technology’s benefits, from clean energy generation to reducing evaporative loss, and its potential for income generation for irrigation districts throughout the American West. https://bit.ly/4fwwVXi #HydroLeader #SolarPower #RenewableEnergy #Hydro #Hydroelectricity #Reclamation
