Firm renewable, solar and storage installation
to provide clean energy to Hawaii and boost grid reliability Over
111MW to be added to Ameresco’s Energy Assets in Development
Continues Ameresco’s track record of growing its renewable asset
portfolio
Ameresco, Inc. (NYSE:AMRC), a leading clean technology
integrator specializing in energy resiliency, today announced that
it has been selected in Hawaiian Electric Company’s clean energy
procurement initiative to bring a cleaner and more resilient energy
supply to Hawaii. Ameresco was awarded two clean energy facilities
located on the island of O‘ahu. The Pu`uloa Energy installation is
designed to generate 99 megawatts (MW) of firm renewable power
leveraging clean fuels including biodiesel and biogas fuels. The
Pu`uloa Solar project is designed to provide Oahu with an
additional 6.4 MW of solar generation combined with 6 MW/30
megawatt hours (MWH) of energy storage to provide solar after
sunset when electricity use remains high.
Pending successful negotiation of a power purchase agreement
with Hawaiian Electric and approval by the Hawai‘i Public Utilities
Commission, Pu`uloa Solar and Pu`uloa Energy as planned is expected
to begin supplying electricity to customers by Q3 2026 and Q4 2027,
respectively. Together these facilities will deliver clean,
renewable energy, help reduce dependence on fossil fuels, and
further support Hawaii’s pathway to increased energy
independence.
“These projects align with the energy priorities and policies
set forth by the state of Hawaii, including the 100 percent
renewable energy and carbon neutral goals by 2045 and also strongly
support the Navy’s goals to bring energy resiliency to Pearl
Harbor,” said Nicole Bulgarino, Executive Vice President of
Ameresco. “We are committed to working with the community as we
move forward with these exciting projects that are designed to
deliver clean energy to O‘ahu.”
In support of a Department of Defense long-term energy security
initiative, Ameresco is working with the Department of Navy towards
a second 37-year land lease with the Navy at Joint Base Pearl
Harbor Hickam (JBPHH) to provide critical energy resiliency
upgrades. This newest lease encompasses multiple parcels at JBPHH
and builds on a current lease Ameresco has with the Navy in support
of Kūpono Solar. Kūpono Solar is under construction and when
commissioned is expected to bring 42 MW of solar generation and 42
MW / 168 MWH (four-hour duration) of energy storage for the benefit
of Hawaiian Electric’s customers.
