TID General Manager Michelle Reimers

On Episode 4 of the TID Water & Power Podcast we sit down with TID's Bill Bacca to discuss the where your power comes from.

When you think of the power in your home or business, you may think of just flipping a light switch. Or maybe you think of the poles and power lines throughout the TID Service Area. But do you know where your power really comes from?

We discuss how the District leverages its generation facilities and purchases power to maintain our power grid and meet the needs of our customers.

On Episode 3 of the TID Water & Power Podcast we sit down with TID's Michael Cooke to discuss the Relicensing of the Don Pedro Project.

Much like the way you need a license to drive a vehicle, Hydropower facilities like the Don Pedro Project require licenses from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to operate. Only, waiting in line at the DMV would be a treat compared to the hydropower Relicensing process in which TID, in partnership with the Modesto Irrigation District, has been working on for more than a decade.

We'll dive into what the relicensing process is, why it's important to the District and our customers, what we've accomplished in the process thus far, and what's next.

There's a lot more involved with delivering power than turning on a light switch. And the water that flows through the canals throughout the Turlock Irrigation District service area, where does that come from? Each month the TID Water & Power Podcast sits down with industry experts and TID employees to discuss fascinating facts and important issues that shape the operations of your community-owned utility.

The first episode drops May 12, so make sure to tune-in wherever you get your podcasts.
