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.


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.

Cultural Impact

Assessment

▪ Archival research of

and historical

cultural practices

▪ Ethnographic and

oral history

interviews

▪ Reporting

Important aspects to consider before finalizing the design and building of a project are the potential

archaeological, cultural and historical properties the project could impact.


REQUIRED GOVERNMENT PERMITS AND APPROVALS

13

▪ State Special Use Permit

▪ Maui County Special Use Permit

▪ HRS Chapter 6 E compliance, including State Historic Preservation Division review and approval of Archaeological Inventory Survey

▪ Clean Water Act §402 National Pollution Discharge and Elimination System General Stormwater Permit

▪ Federal Aviation Administration Determination of No Hazard

▪ Construction Noise Permit

▪ Grading, grubbing, building, and electrical permits from Maui County


EQUIPMENT

Battery

Storage

Lithium-ion battery

storage improves grid

resiliency with major

benefits such as load

shifting to deliver power

when it is needed most

Solar Single-

Axis TrackersSolar Panel

Increase energy output

by 10-20% compared to

fixed tilt foundations and

have proven reliability

under severe weather

conditions

High efficiency panels

that are 400+ watts

provide optimal energy

production and minimize

the footprint of the solar

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.
