RENEWABLE ENERGY IN HAWAII
7
In 2019, Hawaiian Electric launched the second phase of their renewable energy procurement process, the single largest procurement effort undertaken in the State of Hawaii, for approximately 900 MW of new renewable generation.
Hawaii has set a goal
to achieve
100% renewable energy
generation by 2045
The Kahana Solar
Project would power
approximately
11,600 Maui
households with
renewable energy
Innergex submitted the Kahana Solar Project as a competitive bid in the Maui Electric Company (MECO) procurement process. The Project was selected to be in the Final Award Group and is in the process of negotiating a power purchase agreement.
Innergex Renewable Energy
THE PROJECT▪ 20 MW solar PV system coupled
with a 20 MW, 4-hour (80 MWh) battery energy storage system (BESS)
▪ Site located on lands owned by Maui Land and Pineapple Company, Inc. in Napili-Honokowai on Maui, Hawaii.
▪ Utilizes approximately 220-acres.
▪ Project will connect into an existing MECO transmission line adjacent to the site.
▪ Provides West Maui with localized stored renewable generation and improves grid stability.
▪ Fixed price with no escalation throughout the 25-year PPA term.

DECOMMISSIONING
▪ Innergex is responsible for the entire project life cycle, including the costs of decommissioning and recycling of component parts.
▪ As part of the decommissioning of a typical solar project, any and all components would be removed and the area would be returned to the same condition as existed prior to the Project being developed.
▪ Reuse or recycling of materials will be prioritized over disposal. Recycling is an area of great focus in the solar industry, and programs for both batteries and solar panels are advancing every year.
19
The Power Purchase Agreement with MECO would be for a 25-year term.
