On this #NationalRenewableEnergyDay and 1st day of Spring, the #CAProjectNexus team is proud to announce that as of next week, we’ll not only be making shade but making energy as the first arrays of Project Nexus – California’s first solar canal pilot – go live! ☀️ 💧 #ClimateSolutions #SolarCanals

Here’s What the Rise of Clean Energy Looks Like From Space New data from a constellation of satellites 250 miles above Earth’s surface shows how solar and wind have taken off in recent years.

Happy National Renewable Energy Day. A new analysis shared with The New York Times shows how countries around the world are rapidly adding solar and wind capacity, now cheaper and more reliable than ever. tinyurl.com/mu6yzuwu #ClimateSolutions #SolarCanals #CAProjectNexus

UC Merced researchers are joining an effort to ease solar siting woes #CAProjectNexus

Excited to be making shade. Narrow span construction currently underway for #CAProjectNexus, California’s first solar canal pilot, with wide-span construction to begin in early 2025. #ClimateSolutions #SolarCanals @ucmerced.bsky.social

The #CAProjectNexus team is proud to receive the 2024 Edmund G ‘Pat’ Brown Award for initiating the 1st solar canal project in CA. We’re grateful for CA’s environmental leadership and look forward to apply learnings to save land, water & generate renewable energy at scale. #CCEEB

The build is on. Foundations for #CAProjectNexus – CA’s 1st #solarcanal pilot – are now in place at #TurlockID for the narrow-span array. Every foundation laid is a step towards scaling renewable energy across the state given the 4,000 miles of available canals & aqueducts. #ClimateSolutions #Solar

Thrilled to see Gov. @gavinnewsom.bsky.social announce new fed & state funding for #SolarCanals development last Thursday. Along with solar canopies being deployed as part of #CAProjectNexus, the Delta Mendota pilot will study floating arrays over moving water to scale more broadly across CA.

#CAProjectNexus is proud to be featured among the innovative #ClimateSolutions rising across the U.S. by @nbcofficial.bsky.social. The potential for #SolarCanals is vast. Let the #CleanEconomy bloom. tinyurl.com/4cfcd8dv #CA_DWR #UCMerced #TurlockID #SolarEnergy #Renewables

#CAProjectNexus is proud to be featured in @nbcofficial.bsky.social's year-end climate special on innovative #ClimateSolutions. The potential for #SolarCanals is vast. 2024 is the year we pilot new designs in the Central Valley so we can study in order to scale. #CADWR #UCMerced #TurlockID
