WattEV | Bakersfield, California

WattEV, a leading California-based charging infrastructure developer for heavy-duty electric powered trucks, recently unveiled three new electric truck-charging depots, funded by $75.8 million in federal grant money. Blymyer Engineers partnered with WattEV on the three projects. Two of the charging depots, one of which is in Bakersfield, are located along the I-5 corridor in California’s Central Valley. The third depot is in Blythe on the California-Arizona border. Engineer: Blymyer Engineers | Partner: WattEV | Developer: WattEV | Utility: San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District

Project Nexus | Stanislaus County, California

Project Nexus includes the installation of solar panel canopies over various sections of Turlock Irrigation District’s (TID) irrigation canals. Solar-over-canal design, deployment, and co-benefits on behalf of the State of California using TID infrastructure and electrical grid access. First in the Nation project. TID was the first publicly owned irrigation district in California. Collaboration among public, private, and academic sectors. Funded by the State of California. Two project sites along various sections of TID’s canal system. Providing over 1.6MW of renewable power generation. Energy storage incorporated at the Narrow-span location through 75kW iron-flow batteries. Partners: Turlock Irrigation District, California Department of Water Resources, Solar AquaGrid, and UC Merced.
