Innergex signs PPA for two solar with energy storage projects in US
Innergex Renewable Energy Inc. has announced the signing of two 25-year power purchase agreements that provide a fixed price with the Hawai’i Electric Light Company and the Maui Electric Company for the electricity to be produced at the Hale Kuawehi and Paeahu solar and battery energy storage projects. Both projects have a proposed commercial operation date of 2022. The agreements are subject to approval by the Public Utilities Commission of Hawai’i.
The two 25-year power purchase agreements are for dispatchable energy, allowing the respective utilities to dispatch the facilities as they deem appropriate to maintain grid stability and maximise renewable energy use on Maui and Hawai’i islands.
The Hale Kuawehi solar project is a 30 MWAC facility with 120 MWh of battery storage located on the island of Hawai’i. Its average annual electricity generation could reach 92,000 MWh. The Paeahu solar project is a 15 MWAC facility with a 60 MWh battery storage facility on the island of Maui. It could generate on average annually 45,000 MWh.
