The farm consists of 12 wind turbines, a 30-foot high microwave communication tower, and a battery energy storage system (BESS) that provides short term storage for the power. With Kahuku Wind maxed out and a high demand for clean energy in Hawaii, First Wind is currently planning a second wind farm in the Kawailoa area on land leased from Kamehameha Schools.

Customer ServiceFirst Wind selected Younicos to provide a 10 MW, turnkey energy storage system to meet the power purchase agreement (PPA) requirements, and reduce curtailment. The storage system provides up to 10 MW of "up reserve" and 8 MW of "down reserve" capability -without adding any unneeded thermal generation to the grid.
Customer ServiceNearly all of Hawaii''s utility-scale battery storage capacity is installed with onshore wind turbines or solar photovoltaic (PV) systems, allowing excess electricity from those generators to be stored and used later. As of January 2020, about 30% of Hawaii''s total generating capacity is solar or wind. The non-dispatchable nature of these

Current Project Goals: Develop sufficient understanding of Molokai grid operation to optimize value of BESS with other grid systems including dynamic load bank and proposed PV-battery system from New Energy Partners.
Customer ServiceHawaiian Electric pioneered wind energy development in Hawaii in the early 1980s. Today, Hawaiian Electric continues to add more wind power to island grids through wind farms at Kahuku and Kawailoa on Oahu, Kaheawa and Auwahi wind farms in Maui County, and Hawaii and Pakini Nui wind farms on Hawaii Island.
Customer ServiceThe Auwahi Wind Farm – Battery Energy Storage System is an 11,000kW energy storage project located in Kula, Hawaii, US. The electro-chemical battery energy storage project uses lithium-ion as its storage technology. The project was announced in 2011 and was commissioned in 2012.
