Hawaii approves PPA deal of Hawaiian Electric Company with Clearway Energy for Mililani I Solar and Waiawa Solar Projects

The Hawaii Public Utilities Commission (PUC) has approved the power purchase agreement (PPA) deal of Clearway Energy Group and the Hawaiian Electric Company for the two solar projects: Mililani I Solar and Waiawa Solar Power.

The Mililani I Solar project is sized at 39 MW and located in the Mililani Agricultural Park, while the Waiawa Solar Power project, located in the Waiawa region, is sized at 36 MW. Both projects will include battery storage capability.

In addition to the two solar projects approved today, Clearway has three other solar projects that are currently under construction on Oahu and will be completed in 2019. Combined, the five projects will generate 185 megawatts of low-cost, renewable energy – enough to power approximately 62,000 Oahu homes each year.
