AES to develop two solar and energy storage projects in Hawaii
AES Distributed Energy, a division of the AES Corporation, has been selected by the Hawaiian Electric Company to develop and operate two new utility-scale solar plus storage facilities on Oahu, Hawaii. Combined, these two projects are expected to generate a total of 137,000 MWh of locally produced, reliable renewable energy, serving over 23,000 homes.
The projects are among sixteen selected by Hawaiian Electric as part of the company’s Stage 2 RFP issued in August 2019. AES will develop two proposed projects on Oahu: one will be a 19.5 MWdc PV facility paired with a 35 MWh battery energy storage system (BESS), and the other will be a 60 MWdc PV facility paired with a 240 MWh BESS.
Construction of these projects is expected to begin in 2022, pending all applicable permitting and approvals, with completion scheduled in 2023.
