Located in Waimea on a 300-acre parcel about a half-mile north of the Hawai‘i Belt Road and Old Saddle Road intersection, the project is supported by a 120 megawatt-hour battery energy storage system and can produce enough energy to power about 13,500 homes. (Innergex) Hale Kuawehi Solar and Battery Storage Project began commercial operations on March 25, 2025 and is producing up to 30 megawatts of renewable energy for the Hawai‘i Island grid. In 2023, Hawaii had a total summer capacity of 3,222 MW through all of its power plants, and a net generation of 9,194 GWh. Kapolei Energy Storage (KES) is ideally located on roughly eight acres of land in Kapolei on the island of Oahu, where it interconnects at a critical Hawaiian Electric substation. 1, 2022, eliminating 180 megawatts of fossil-fueled baseload power from the grid on Oahu — a crucial step in the state’s first-in-the-nation commitment to cease burning fossil fuels for electricity by 2045.
