RD108 Canal 14a Floating Solar Project

Reclamation District 108 is advancing a 1.25 MW AC floating solar photovoltaic project along Canal 14a, an active agricultural waterway in California, integrating approximately 2,160 solar panels on a buoyant racking system to generate an estimated 2.5 GWh of clean electricity annually. The installation is designed to deliver dual environmental and operational benefits by reducing water evaporation and suppressing nuisance algal growth, enhancing water efficiency while simultaneously supporting regional energy needs through grid capacity relief for local consumers. The project represents a sustainable infrastructure upgrade for the district, aligning water resource management with renewable energy production. The initiative is being managed by Reclamation District 108, with primary point of contact Jordon Navarrot, Deputy Manager, available via email and phone for inquiries, and Ryan Cook, Project Director at EMRGY, serving as the technical lead. The contract forecast was posted on July 10, 2026, and the project will be executed at the canal site within California, though no specific city or zip code has been provided. This effort is positioned as a forward-looking infrastructure investment that bridges water conservation and renewable energy goals without specifying set-aside criteria, NAICS code, or formal solicitation details at this stage.
