Hawaii selects Longroad Energy to develop 160 MW of solar projects
Longroad Energy was selected by Hawaiian Electric Company (HECO) to begin developing two utility-scale solar and battery storage projects for completion in 2023. The proposed projects include the 120 MWac/480 MWh Mahi Solar in Kunia, O‘ahu, which would be the state’s largest solar project to date, and the 40 MWac/160 MWh Pulehu Solar in Pulehu, Maui.
In the coming months, Longroad plans to gather community input, negotiate power purchase agreements with HECO, begin the permitting process, and hold virtual public meetings. The Mahi Solar project plans to work with the Hawaii Farm Bureau on O‘ahu to find new agricultural uses for the land under and around the solar panels, and the Pulehu Solar project plans to support the educational efforts of the Maui Economic Development Board to teach students about clean energy.
