AES, KIUC inaugurate large solar-plus-storage plant in Hawaii
The AES Corporation (NYSE: AES) and Kaua’i Island Utility Cooperative (KIUC) have inaugurated the Lāwa’i Solar and Energy Storage Project, the largest operational solar and storage system in the world. The project, owned and operated by AES Distributed Energy, consists of a 28 MW solar photovoltaic (PV) and a 100 MWh five-hour duration energy storage system, and will help Hawaii meet its goal of reaching 100 percent renewable energy by 2045.
By combining solar power with battery-based energy storage, intermittent renewable generation can be converted into safe, reliable and higher-quality power.
