Engie awarded wind and energy storage projects in Hawaii
The Hawaiian Electric Company, Inc. has selected ENGIE’s project as one of sixteen in the Final Award Group for the Stage 2 Variable Renewable Dispatchable Generation and Energy Storage projects.
The proposed project awarded to ENGIE is a 60 MWac solar plus 240 MWh battery storage facility located in Puakō near Waikoloa Village, South Kohala, on Hawai‘i Island. ENGIE EPS will supply the battery storage system and act as a full storage solution provider and system integrator.
The project is expected to be online in 2023 but depending on the length of the economic disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, delays in bringing the projects online are possible.
ENGIE, as well as the other developers, will now enter into one on one contract negotiations with Hawaiian Electric to reach an acceptable 25-year power purchase agreement. All contracts must then be approved by the Hawai‘i Public Utilities Commission. Throughout the entire process, ENGIE will continue to engage with the local communities near the project to discuss and address any input that they may have.
