The Turlock Irrigation District, established in 1887, operates as a public utility in water delivery and as a retailer of electric energy to homes, farms, and businesses. It is one of a small number of California districts that deliver both irrigation services and electric retail, functioning as a special district under the Wright Act and California Water Code, and governed by a five-member Board of Directors.

Based in Turlock, California, the district serves the Central Valley region and employs a staff described as several hundred people. The organization has pursued modernization of its energy infrastructure, including a public-private partnership in which a 1.6 MW solar installation was developed on canals operated by TID, with participation from the California Department of Water Resources, Solar AquaGrid, and the University of California, Merced. In alignment with its broader utilities role, TID engages in projects that integrate solar energy with water infrastructure to support power needs and sustainability in its service area.
