Hawaiian Electric Companies seek 900 MW of new renewables
HAWAII - The Hawaiian Electric Companies recently launched the state's largest procurement effort for renewable energy resources, seeking approximately 900 megawatts of new renewables or renewables paired with storage.
The main aim of the effort is to end the use of coal in Hawaii, reduce reliance on imported oil for power generation, and move closer to the state's goal of 100 percent renewable energy by 2045.
The effort is among the largest single renewable energy procurements undertaken by a U.S. utility.
