Clearway Completes Central O‘ahu Solar, Battery Farm
Clearway Energy Group’s solar farm with battery storage is located on Kamehameha Schools’ land in Central O‘ahu.
The site, located on Kame- hameha Schools’ lands in Waiawa in Central O‘ahu, will generate enough clean electricity to power more than 7,600 homes each year.
“Clean energy is better for our air, our health and our cost of living,” states Gov. Josh Green. “This solar proj- ect is an important addition to O‘ahu’s growing portfo- lio of lower-cost renewable resources to benefit all res- idents. We commend Clear- way Energy Group and their partners for their continued contribution to providing clean energy at a price that is lower than fossil-fuel al- ternatives.”
This newest solar and battery storage power plant represents a $150 million investment on approximate- ly 180 acres of land leased from Kamehameha Schools.
“We are proud to help Ha- wai‘i reach its climate goals and invest in renewable energy in the state,” states Clearway CEO Craig Cor- nelius. “We are immensely grateful for the collaboration with our partners, Hawaiian Electric and Kamehameha Schools, who help make those goals a reality.”
The solar farm generates clean electricity at about half the cost of fossil fuels and feeds the entire O‘ahu grid, benefiting all island rate- payers. The battery system stores electricity to make it available after the sun goes down and when the demand for power peaks.
