Puʻuloa Solar
A Clean Energy Project
The Puʻuloa Solar Project is proposed by Ameresco, Inc., to construct, own and operate this facility for a term of 25 years. This renewable energy Project is a 6 MW PV plus 6 MW/30 MWh battery-energy storage system (BESS). The Project will be connected to Hawaiian Electric’s 46kV feeders. Due to National security, the on-site electrical interconnection route will not be made public. The Project will provide electricity power after sunset.
The Project’s renewable energy will supply power to approximately 1,500 homes while reducing more than 7,100 tons of carbon dioxide annually from Hawaiʻi’s environment – equivalent to offsetting carbon dioxide emissions from 1,700 cars every year.
Project Details
- 6 MW solar PV power plant with an affiliated 6 MW / 30 MWh (five-hour duration) BESS of lithium-ion batteries housed in a state-of-the-art containment system that includes around-the-clock monitoring, cooling, and fire suppression systems.
- The Project site will also have structures to house the controls for system and maintenance.
- The proposed Project will be secured by fences in compliance with local and industry standards and meet all permitting requirements.
Location
The proposed Puʻuloa Solar project site will occupy an approximately 20-acre portion of TMK (1) 1-1-10-066 located in a mixed-use area of Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Oʻahu, Hawaiʻi.
