Hawaiian Electric Company, Inc. has selected ENGIE’s (Paris:EPS)
project as one of sixteen in the Final Award Group for the Stage 2
Variable Renewable Dispatchable Generation and Energy Storage
projects.
ENGIE and ENGIE EPS’s bid was selected after a competitive
evaluation that was part of the largest renewable energy
procurement ever undertaken in Hawai‘i, launched in August
2019.
The proposed project awarded to ENGIE is a 60 MWAC solar plus
240 MWh battery storage facility located in Puakō near Waikoloa
Village, South Kohala, on Hawai‘i Island. ENGIE EPS will supply the
battery storage system and act as a full storage solution provider
and system integrator.
“ENGIE EPS has a longstanding track record in deploying hybrid
battery storage systems on islands around the globe, and ENGIE has
over a decade of experience working in Hawaiʻi. We look forward to
utilizing this expertise to help the Islands meet its target of
100% clean energy and to continuing our engagement with the Hawai‘i
Island communities as we do so”, said Carlalberto Guglielminotti,
Chief Executive Officer of ENGIE EPS.
The project is expected to be online in 2023 but depending on
the length of the economic disruption caused by the COVID-19
pandemic, delays in bringing the projects online are possible.
This was the final evaluation phase. ENGIE, as well as the other
developers, will now enter into one on one contract negotiations
with Hawaiian Electric to reach an acceptable 25-year power
purchase agreement. All contracts must then be approved by the
Hawai‘i Public Utilities Commission. Throughout the entire process,
ENGIE will continue to engage with the local communities near the
project to discuss and address any input that they may have.
